<pre>I think changing the labels (.ui strings?) would be a great help.
Possibly try some consistency. I also suspect the wording used is interpreted
differently in different regions.
The save as CSV dialogue uses "Field Delimiter" and "Text Delimiter"
The check box further down states "Quote all text cells"
If I looked at this language I would suggest changing "Text Delimiter" to "Text
Quote" or "Quote character" so it is clear it is the character for ""Quote all
text cells".
Now looking at the import dialogue
We talk about separators. Should the export be re-visited and "Field Delimiter"
renamed "Field Separator", and on the import "Merge delimiters" > "Merge
separators".
Looking now at "Text Delimiter" on the import.
If I have a string in the file [cat "feline" "1234"] as a field between
separators, what does the user think the setting "Text Delimiter" does when set
to '"'.
A suggestion here is "Text field quotes" or "Text field quotemarks", but where
I am everyone knows quotes implies " or ' at the beginning and end of a string
and this might not be general in world terms.
If I have it right, "Quoted field as text" is more accurately "Format quoted
field as text" as opposed to Number/General</pre>
