Description André DESMOTTES 2018-01-16 11:31:21 CET

Description of problem:
When installing Mageia (Classical or Live install) at the User management step, there is a label in the screen that says "Enter a user". This is very poor English, a correct label would say "Add a user", like in the MCC.
Is is possible to change that ?

I see filing this report was an #Action for you in last night's docteam meeting
http://meetbot.mageia.org/mageia-doc/2018/mageia-doc.2018-01-15-20.05.html

21:43:50 <apb> Apart from 19 could just be User Management (I feel). The biggie is Enter a User!
21:44:13 <papoteur> apb: yes
21:44:28 <lebarhon> apb is right
21:44:42 <apb> Is Add Users any good?
21:45:13 <lebarhon> it is written like that in the GUI
21:45:36 <lebarhon> It is written "Enter a user"
21:45:56 <apb> Well, if it comes to it, then I think GUI would need to be changed.
21:46:24 <apb> ...it just sounds really poor.
21:46:29 <lebarhon> we can ask it, but in the meantime, we must keep Enter
21:46:42 <papoteur> I'm fine with the wording as it is in the GUI
21:47:08 <lebarhon> I can ask a change in the ml ? WDYT ?
21:47:28 <papoteur> ANd we can file a request on bugzilla to change it.
21:47:47 <lebarhon> Yes, I will do both
21:47:49 <papoteur> lebarhon: first on bugzilla
21:47:54 <apb> Yes please - I was thinking of resorting to a bug.
21:48:36 <lebarhon> #action Lebarhon ask for rewording "enter a user" in bugzilla

It seems to come from http://gitweb.mageia.org/software/drakx/tree/perl-install/any.pm#n959

  { label => N("Enter a user"), title => 1 }, if_($names, { label => $names }),


If it's only changed to "Add a user" in cauldron (so not for Mageia 6.1), then we don't need to worry about breaking translations that are better worded than the English original :-)

Summary: The Installer GUI is not correct => The Installer GUI has a poorly worded label in the User Management screen: "Enter a user" as title of the section with fields in which user credentials and such can be entered. "Add a user" would be better.
