Change in the content.pot file. #376

Closed lebmich closed 2 years ago

lebmich commented 2 years ago

New wording to clarify the concept of duplicate instance. I hope ...

elstoc commented 2 years ago

Hmm I'm not convinced this is really any clearer. Also, you can't just modify the content.pot file, you have to change the original markdown files themselves.

Perhaps if you could clarify what you think is wrong with the current wording, I could suggest an alternative.

In the English version of the user manual we have:

duplicate instance Create a new instance of the current module with all of its parameters inherited from the parent module.

I think the expression "inherited from the parent module" is not precise enough. What must be expressed is that the values of the parameters of the new instance are those of the parameters of the instance which is being duplicated.

That is what the phrase "inherited from the parent" means though.

Maybe we could write "inherited from the parent instance"

lebmich commented 2 years ago

or better : "inherited from its parent instance"

lebmich commented 2 years ago

We could write: duplicate instance Create a new instance of the current module with its parameters settings inherited from its parent instance.

elstoc commented 2 years ago

The rest of the section refers to "current instance" so we'll go with that
