Description Aldoo 2021-09-17 08:13:58 UTC

In plasma system settings, in the desktop session management tab, there is a checkbox labelled "Saisir l'écran de configuration du micro-programme au prochain redémarrage".

In my opinion this is a very puzzling description of what this is meant to do.

After researching a bit (looking for the original English label), I finally understood this was meant to enter UEFI setup on next computer boot.

In this regard, the translation does not work at all:
- "saisir" means for a human to input some data into the computer. How is this related to what the checkbox does?
- "micro-programme" can be understood, although it is very uncommon, compared to the English word "firmware" (I understand there is some ideology here, trying to push French equivalents when it is possible). Anyway, there are a lot of micro-programmes (or firmwares). How is the user supposed to guess this is about UEFI?

Suggested replacement: "Entrer dans l'écran de configuration du micro-programme UEFI au prochain démarrage".

Also I would like to add that this checkbox has little to do with desktop sessions anyway, so this does not help understanding what it is meant to do.

But moving the checkbox to another tab should be a separate bug to submit to "systemsettings" product, shouldn't it?
