i18n: ノート as verb and as noun might need to be split

[outloudvi]

💡 Summary

The i18n string, note or ノート, or this Crowdin entry, is used as both a noun ("a note") and a verb ("send a note"), which might cause problems in translating to other languages.

For example, the usage here on the title of /notes/:id uses it as a noun, while the usage here on the sidebar button uses it as a verb.

🥰 Expected Behavior

• The noun and verb string shall be split.

🤬 Actual Behavior

• The noun and verb string is not split.

📝 Steps to Reproduce

1. Go to /notes/:id.
2. Check the title text and the sidebar button text.

📌 Environment

Misskey version: 12.110.0

とりあえず「ノート」ボタンは別にすればよさそう？

日本語でも「ノート」の動詞的用法には違和感を感じるので、何か良い語が無いものか

「ノート」と同じく、今はpostに変わってしまったけどmastodonでの「投稿」を指した「toot」は名詞・動詞的用法があって、名詞では「口笛（らっぱ等）を吹くこと」、動詞では「口笛（らっぱ等)をピューと吹く」です。よって、私は「ノート」で良いと思ってます

(話は外れますがiscatを有効にしたときだけ、「ノート(Note)」ではなく猫の鳴き声「にゃー！（mew!）」「にゃー！（meow!）」にしたら面白いのではないかと思ってしまった。）

ちなみに、 @robflop はどう思う？

I think the word note is okay and sounds great!

As of the strings, for example, Mastodon is using different entries for the noun post and the verb toot (The compose_form.publish_loud is used when the visibility is public).

In english I can't think of any instances where it causes any problem right now as the noun and verb are spelled exactly the same (to note, a note - as mentioned in previous posts), so that seems fine to me.

In german for example however this can (and does actually) cause problems, yea. There, the noun is "Notiz", but the verb is "notieren". The post button currently just says "Notiz" in german which makes no sense.

I think splitting at least the string on the posting button would be a good idea. The term "Note" (or rather, 「ノート」) is quite fundamental in a lot of Misskey documentation (one of the first phrases you'll see in the introductory text is "A network connected by notes", for example) so I don't know whether changing that would be a good idea - I think I'd prefer switching the verb to be "posting" and posts remaining as notes, if such a change is being considered.
