Misleading Italian translation for UML use-case

[dierre]

Binary package hint: dia

When using the Italian locale, the button to insert a UML use case (an oval with text inside, just to get to the point) has the following help-tip:
"Usa maiuscolo/minuscolo".

This is completely wrong and confusing, since it means "Use upper/lower case". An appropriate translation would be "Caso d'uso".

Thanks for your report. Ubuntu gets its translations from the translations portion of Launchpad (http://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/), where translation teams work on making Ubuntu more useful in their language. If you want to change a translation in Ubuntu, you can do so there. If the string is not translatable, or you can't figure out how to, feel free to reopen this bug or post back.

don't close the bug, rather reassigning the corresponding language pack so the translation team knows about the issue

Here is a patch that should solve the problem. Please somebody check it since it is my first patch. Thanks.

This has been fixed in all supported distroseries except Dapper:
  https://translations.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/hardy/+source/dia/+pots/dia/es/1609/+translate
  https://translations.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/gutsy/+source/dia/+pots/dia/es/1611/+translate
  https://translations.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/feisty/+source/dia/+pots/dia/es/1612/+translate

To fix the Dapper one, go to:
  https://translations.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/dapper/+source/dia/+pots/dia/es/1601/+translate

It would have helped if you said which distribution release are you actually using. You may also want to check with Ubuntu guys if there will be more language pack updates for Dapper.

No, it wasn't. Please notice that the links you posted point to the
*Spanish* translation, while this bug refers to the Italian one.

Anyway, I changed "es" into "it" in your links and fixed the
translations, so it should be ok now.

I changed the link to point to the Italian translation and fixed it.

Sorry for not having mentioned it, I am using Gutsy. And a language pack
for it was released yesterday. :-)

Just for future reference, which is the best way I should act in case I
find other translation mistakes like this, considering that launchpad
does not allow (yet) to search translations and I'm not in the official
translation team so I cannot upload the .po file? I would like to help
now and then.

Thank you.

Fix in Hardy, Gutsy, Feisty and Dapper.

Attending new language pack release...

New Langpack (2008 - 06 - 28) fix the bug.
