Description Hoang Duy Tran 2021-11-17 09:33:01 UTC
SUMMARY
During the process of translating the UI to Vietnamese, I've noticed some English errors in the original texts. These text:

#: libs/ui/widgets/KoStrokeConfigWidget.cpp:115 libs/widgets/KoStrokeConfigWidget.cpp:110
#, kde-format
msgid "Miter join"
msgstr ""

#: libs/ui/widgets/KoStrokeConfigWidget.cpp:122 libs/widgets/KoStrokeConfigWidget.cpp:117
#, kde-format
msgid "Round join"
msgstr ""

#: libs/ui/widgets/KoStrokeConfigWidget.cpp:129 libs/widgets/KoStrokeConfigWidget.cpp:124
#, kde-format
msgid "Bevel join"
msgstr ""

describes the type of 'Joints' (Noun) and yet, using the 'VERB' version of the word. Refer to this:

join
verb
1. to connect or fasten things together;
2. to get involved in an activity or journey with another person or group;
3. to become a member of an organisation.

joint
adjective
1. belonging to or shared between two or more people e.g. “a joint bank account” or “the project was a joint effort between the two classes.”

noun
2. a place in your body where two bones are connected;
3. a place where two things are fastened together

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Comment 1 Halla Rempt 2021-11-17 12:28:45 UTC
Sorry, that article is wrong, and it's perfectly fine to use join here. Not only can you, in English, noun most verbs, and verb most nouns, the Oxford dictionary also clearly states that "join" is a noun.
Comment 2 Hoang Duy Tran 2021-11-17 13:38:26 UTC
Where is your evidence that OXFORD Dictionary said so? This IS the definition from Oxford dictionary:

join verb
 
 /dʒɔɪn/
 /dʒɔɪn/
Verb Forms
Idioms Phrasal Verbs
connect
​  [transitive, intransitive] to fix or connect two or more things together
 join A to/onto B Join one section of pipe to the next.
The island is joined to the mainland by a bridge.
The head was not joined onto the body.
 join A and B A central hallway joins the two halves of the house.
 join A and B together Join the two sections of pipe together.
 join (A and B) (up) Draw a line joining (up) all the crosses.
How do these two pieces join?

(https://www.oxfordlearnersdictionaries.com/definition/english/join_1)
It CLEARLY says it's the VERB form.
Comment 3 Halla Rempt 2021-11-17 14:06:52 UTC
I took my copy of the Oxford dictionary from my bookshelves and looked it up. You're looking in the "learner's" dictionary, not the real one.
Comment 4 Hoang Duy Tran 2021-11-17 14:14:56 UTC
Yes, you're right, it's the same as 'joint', one word more for me to learn. Thank you!
