Description Heiko Tietze 2017-08-29 08:27:27 UTC
The color palette names are written in British English with 'grey'. Usually American English is the standard and the colors should be renamed 'gray'.

This is an upstream request from https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=112062
Comment 1 Jens Reuterberg 2017-08-29 12:05:06 UTC
"In this class we learn English, not American" as my old English teacher used to say. The choice of names for colours are most probably my fault simply because that is how I spell them. "Grey", "Colour", "Aluminium". But its potato/potato as far as I am concerned
Comment 2 Jonathan Riddell 2017-08-29 12:20:05 UTC
I like your English teacher already.  But snobbery will get us nowhere, KDE uses en_US in strings as do other projects like Libreoffice who want to use this stuff.
Comment 3 Heiko Tietze 2017-08-29 14:20:47 UTC
Not my idea, but LibreOffice translates color names and KDE could do that too with Breeze_EN-GB.col.
Comment 4 David Edmundson 2019-12-06 19:03:55 UTC
Where does Breeze use the term grey/gray?
Comment 5 Nate Graham 2019-12-06 19:37:54 UTC
Just the HIG at this point. I'm changing it.

Replace Grey with Gray

...Since we use American English everywhere.
