Description Jérôme Borme 2014-01-31 11:02:44 CET

The installer of Mageia displays the remaining time. When this time is in minutes, it is written clearly like "30 minutes". When it is above one hour, it is displayed like "1:30", which one cannot guess if it is 1 minute 30 seconds or 1 hour 30 minutes. I thing this ambiguity should be resolved by writing "1 hour 30 minutes" or something equivalent.

I know it's a detail, but when installing it at friend's home, I could not tell them how long it would take, which did not give the feeling of simplicity I/they expected for Mageia.

Comment 1 Thierry Vignaud 2015-05-11 19:51:13 CEST

We could add a couple N() call so that each language translator could use the best form (eg: 1h30 for French, 1e30 for Breton, 1:30 for English, ...)
