Modified Printer Setup It takes half a minute until the config files are updated... There are three issues here: 1) If the system is still performing activity and making the user wait, then it's wrong to word the message with the past tense, as if the activity has already been finished. The messages should instead read "Creating New Printer Setup" and "Modifying Printer Setup". 2) "It takes half a minute"? That's rather precise. How does the system know that it's going to take exactly half a minute? Doesn't the processing time depend on the speed of the user's computer, including CPU frequency, disk speed, and system load? Please replace this message with a progress bar, or with a more vague "Updating configuration files..." 3) Even if it is known that the configuration files take exactly thirty minutes to update, the message is grammatically incorrect. It should instead be "It takes half a minute to update the configuration files" or "It will be half a minute until the configuration files are updated". You can't use the present form of "take" with "until".
