Hi There,
I have been working on quite a large rewrite of the wording in Eldy to try and simplify the language.
This new version builds on Simons version, again UK-English centric.
I've tried to eliminate "computer words" as much as possible:
Although words like "Verification" and "authorized" are commonplace in computer applications, I think they can mostly be replaced by words that are perhaps friendlier and less clinical (read: intimidating).
I think computer words greatly decrease the accessibility of computers to older generations, and my hope is to create an underlying "word ethic" which ensures wording in Eldy is of a style which is warmer and more engaging.
Other changes include some spelling mistakes & capitalisation of acronyms etc.
Please see attached file "Changes.txt" for full list of changes, the file "mattsnewversion.txt" is the .lang file.
I also have a couple of change suggestions for wording not available in the lang pack:
In Mail
Change "Mail Read" to "Old Mail"
Change "Mail Sent" to "Sent Mail"
In Chat
Change "Let's get chat started!" to "Let's get Chatting!"
All the best,
Matt
