Description h.goebel 2017-09-01 10:28:44 UTC
In German "Save Remote file" is translated to "Webdatei speichern" (engl. "save webfile").

For me this leaves the impression die file is saved in a different format (the "web format", what ever this is, maybe HTML). But the menu entry opens a dialog to save files on a WebDAV server (i assume).

I suggest translating like "Speichern auf Server …" (engl. "save to server"), which would express the "remote" aspect.
Comment 1 Dieter 2017-09-01 10:42:37 UTC
I agree. I also thought of a different format, when I saw "Webdatei" speichern for the first time. I also agree to the suggestion "Speichern auf Server".
Comment 2 Sophia Schroeder 2017-09-01 11:11:35 UTC
I am also not happy with the translation. "Speichern auf Server" sounds o.k. to me. But maybe someone come up with a better solution.  Will think about it too.

+1, but better with the subject first "Auf Server speichern" or just "Extern speichern".

Sounds good with verb on the last position.
> or just "Extern speichern".
Sounds like "Save on external/USB disc" which would give false impression.

Firefox translates remote with extern mostly.

But while a browser is designed to always work remotely and there is no remote save/open menu entry, this is not a good reference. ;)

"Auf Server speichern" was accepted for master / 5.4.2. I close this bug now as RESOLVED/FIXED. Feel free to reopen it if any concerns.
