[opensuse-translation] OpenSUSE vs. openSUSE (Request for clarification)
Hello everyone, I was wondering about the string in add-on-creator.po, which says "OpenSUSE" (instead of openSUSE, with a small o). I think it stands at the beginning of a sentencen or is a headline or something where you'd usually write the first latter capitalized. But does this rule apply to openSUSE as well? I always thought it's a name and therefore should be always written with a lowercase o. If've added this as a bug in bugzilla, as I think it's simply the string that is wrong. Regards Michael

It's always "openSUSE", never use a capital "O", so this should be fixed indeed, Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, Director Platform / openSUSE, aj@suse.de SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126

Interesting, I've been told quite a few times that it should be OpenSUSE at the beginning of a sentence. If this is wrong, we have to make this better-known in some way...

Yes, it is indeed wrong. openSUSE starts always with a small o. Is there something on the wiki where we can document this?

I think I read a statement to the contrary. Only now have I learnt about the first letter being lowercase, and verified the local dictionary. OpenSUSE. (testing spell checker) Argh. My dictionary does not contain "OpenSUSE", but the spellchecker takes the above as correct. Bugzilla? >:-) - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

Let me see mine. openSUSE (red) OpenSUSE (red) Besides there are languages that don't use articles ahead of noun and have problem to put openSUSE as a first word in a sentence. Example: The openSUSE is community ... The openSUSE is distribution ... Translator has to change sentence order to avoid having openSUSE first, which in both examples gives somewhat strange result. -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-translation+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-translation+help@opensuse.org
Duh! I really like when i write openSuSE with small o and u. It seems more stylish for me. Also some times ago think I saw something like that with S.u.S.E., am not very sure but whatever the case its cool On Fri, Feb 27, 2009 at 10:57 PM, Rajko M. <rmatov101@charter.net> wrote:
