Gnome-system-monitor needs translation item 19 "Sent" to read "Sending" instead.

[Steven Pemberton]

In the program "System Monitor", under "Network history" (see screen dump), it says "Receiving/Total Received" and "Sent/Total Sent"

This really gets on my nerves :-) For consistency it should be "Receiving/Total Received" and "Sending/Total Sent"
(i.e. replace the first Sent with Sending)

Steven, your logic is spot on. I've made the changes on the launchpad end (the change is now definitely made to Precise, Quantal, Raring and Saucy onwards for the three main english locales: British English, Australian English and Canadian English.)

If my assumption is correct, EN_US users get the default values that were written into the program, so that change will have to be done by someone on the gnome-system-monitor team who handles the .pot files directly i think.

Also, while the changes have been made on the launchpad end, i think the language pack for the ubuntu release will have to be updated in order to pull in the new changes. The ubuntu-language-pack-builders are responsible for that, methinks?

As of today the situation is thus:

Raring: base lang pack released 2013-04-18 15:07:20 UTC
Quantal: base lang pack released 2012-10-09 14:08:15 UTC
Precise: base land pack released 2013-01-28 19:59:39 UTC

There may be a set schedule for when these are next updated (there aren't any new entries to translate for them, my team's kept the british english todo list down to 0 across the series!) but i'm afraid i don't know when or where that info would be. They probably play it by ear, but i imagine they'd push updates soon. I could ask them for you, if you like?

In summary, this bug will be completely solved for non en-us english locale users immediately after the next lang pack updates hit the ubuntu releases and the en-us users will probably have to abide it until it gets changed directly in the translation file before it hits launchpad.

^ I forgot to mention that there will at least be some comfort to take in that Ubuntu Saucy will have this change by default when it's released in a few months and becomes nice and stable. :)

Small update.

https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-langpack/+archive/ppa builds the latest language translations twice a week into this ppa and then they get pushed to each ubuntu 'backports' directory on the server, according to an agreed on schedule (which didn't look very clear cut to me at 1 in the morning XD)

Long story short - the changes i've made will come much sooner than i thought, you can add that ppa and update anytime after the next package version is built there (which could be in the next few days!?) and you'll never be bothered by this again ...in ubuntu lol (I hope this bug doesn't linger on for those who don't use launchpad to organise their translations!)
