Rename "Query" #252

Open probonopd opened 6 years ago

probonopd commented 6 years ago

Coming from clients like XChat and not knowing (nor wanting to know) the interna or the IRC protocol, I found no obvious way to open a private chat window in quassel-webserver until someone told me that it hides under "Query". It should be renamed to something more obvious.

query

Similarly, when closing a channel,

Are you sure you want to delete this buffer permanently ?

is not something a non-programmer can understand.

@probonopd the first term, "Query", is an IRC term. But yes, you're right, renaming wouldn't hurt too much.

Regarding "buffer", any Quassel user will understand that term, as Quassel calls any such chat backlog a buffer. You can merge them, etc. I don't know what term could be used other than "buffer", maybe "backlog" or "chat log".

"Chat window", "Chat log" are terms I as a fist-time user would understand.
