Description Omer I.S. 2020-12-15 23:07:35 CET 
Hello, the translation of the string "GB" (gigabyte) is used also for the ISO 3166 code of the United Kingdom (GB).
Comment 1 Thomas Backlund 2020-12-15 23:51:13 CET 
translation where ?


"GB" is short for gigabyte according to JEDEC and METRIC standard

of course if one want to follow IEC, then it would be GiB

The translation is in: MCC > Software management > Configure media sources for install and update > File menu > Add a specific media mirror.

As I remember, we use the third-party Perl module for this and these units are untranslatable everywhere in the drak-tools (e.g. in the update windows).

I will try to see what can be done.

Hello Omer,
Do you expect that these codes will be translated, transcribed or stay in latin characters?
