Description Cor Nouws 2017-10-18 20:33:38 UTC
As per subject.
So it should be either:
  Zoom level
or
  Zoom factor
Comment 1 Heiko Tietze 2017-10-19 06:35:08 UTC
"Zoom factor" occurs in 41 source files, "Zoom level" in 20 (including comments). Google finds 361k factors and 486k levels. I don't see any 'zoom factor' string definition so the update could be done at the documentation. Sophie, Olivier: your decision.
Comment 2 Cor Nouws 2017-10-19 06:37:37 UTC
thanks Heiko.
'Zoom Factor' is what we have from the past.
Comment 3 sophie 2017-10-19 09:28:15 UTC
Hi, as it's a percentage, I would say that it fits 'factor' definition, so I would go with "Zoom factor". Sophie

Indeed, 'factor' implies a multiplication, which is the case.

Please replace directly msgid for Russian POs before merging with new POTs, Russian translation is already correct.

-msgid "Zoom level. Right-click to change zoom level or click to open Zoom dialog."
+msgid "Zoom factor. Right-click to change zoom factor or click to open Zoom dialog."
 msgstr "Масштаб. Правый щелчок изменяет масштаб, левый открывает диалог «Масштаб»."

May be other languages has correct translation too...
