(In reply to Heiko Tietze from <a href="show_bug.cgi?id=138748#c1">comment #1</a>) > normal users understand "language" maybe better than the more precise term "locale" See <a class="bz_bug_link bz_status_NEW " title="NEW - FILEOPEN .XLS/HTML incorrect codepage while open many reports" href="show_bug.cgi?id=137175#c6">bug 137175 comment 6</a> for a real-life case when the improper use of "Language" made user think it relates to yet another somewhat related entity - encoding, while in fact that was about locale. So the presumed understanding is in fact a mix of at least three concepts: what spell checker checks (language), how it is stored (encoding/codepage), and how things like numbers/dates are formatted (locale), which should always be clearly distinguished in the UI.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
