Rename the "Latest / New / Unread / Categories" tabs

[tanius]

In a default Discourse installation, the frontpage will show tab-like buttons "Latest", "New", "Unread" and "Top". The wording for this seems to be sub-optimal to me, so we might discuss if we want to change it. My proposal:

• Latest: Rename to "Updated". Because it's about topics that received new replies, rather than being created. Alberto proposes "What's new" as on the old platform (below), which sounds good to me.
• New: Rename to "New Topics". Because that is what it is. It does not care about any new replies. If we move away from the "topics" wording, then maybe "New Threads" or similar.
• Unread: Rename to "Watching". Because this is not about everything you haven't read, only about stuff you haven't read that you are watching / tracking. Nadia proposed "Updates".
• Categories: Alberto proposes "Sitemap", Matthias "Overview", Nadia "Everything" or "Home" :-)

How about "Latest" => "What's new" to preserve continuity with the old platform?

Unlike originally proposed here, the renaming can not be done in CSS (like with this solution) because the HTML tag structure is not right for this. Would be too much of a hack. So we need a real template change in Discourse.

It's a fairly trivial change. The change to change Unread to something else would be on this line for instance -> https://github.com/edgeryders/discourse/blob/master/config/locales/client.en.yml#L2235 To be consistent in other circumstances it would be a good idea to do search for where it shows up at other places in that file.

If you start changing the language the deeper question is how many languages are you going to support if you want to stay consistent between the languages. It seems like discourse doesn't allow changing language on a user level. So I guess that answers that question :)

Ah right, of course it's in the l10n files. That makes it simple! :slightly_smiling_face:
