Oops - 'Preferences' lost in translation

[BetterRed]

Yes, its the same if I display the icons

Google says it's Lithuanian for 'Priority'

Added : wait, there's more! I guess where it's still yesterday it's still April Fools day

I have my language set to Modern English (UK), if I change to Elizabethan English its OK.

Maybe Lithuania invaded the UK to keep them in the EU

Sigh someone accidentally committed a few strings to an incorrect file -- I think I got them all, but if you spot anymore in the next release, let me know.

will do, but curious - why wouldn't you just restore previous version of English UK translation?

BTW: IMO there's a spelling mistake in the UK translation - 'misspelled' should be 'misspelt', I often wince when I see it - a spelling checker with a spelling error, sort of funny

Because translations are updated continuously, by multiple people, so there is no 'previous version', at least if I were to restore the version used by the last calibre release for instance, it would possibly wipe out other, possibly desirable, changes to the file. And because the translation files include line numbers, trying to use a diff tool on them is way too painful.

As for mistakes in translations, you are welcome to correct them yourself, see the instructions here: http://calibre-ebook.com/get-involved

I try to stay away from translations as much as possible myself, I have quite enough on my plate as it is.

For one word it's not worth it - besides googles Ngram reports 'spelled' overtook 'spelt' outside of US in the mid 90's, 'spelt' hasn't been used in the US since the century before last. So likely as not, only the beat generation cares.

Damn word has too many threads - spell a word, cast a spell, take a spell, someone spilt the spelt
