English Menu--grammar correction
« on: October 29, 2004, 05:53:06 AM »
See attached image...

In POP, SMTP and IMAP pages:

English grammar error-- "writes an information"

Better to say something like:

avast! provides informative notes within the bodies of infected e-mails.  Notes can also be included within clean messages.

Corrected:
Information may be also writen into clean messages.

I agree, it all needs to be reworded. I like what Starfighter has provided as a replacement.

It actually should be:

I would make it like this :

avast! will write information in the bodies of infected e-mails.
If a email is clean, a message can be inserted also.

That's the problem of an universal language like English.
I've translated avast and nobody give me a suggestion  :-\

I find this misleading, since you can insert a message in a infected as well as in a clean message or either of them, depending on your settings. The text as it is in the quote suggest that if a message is infected it will also write a message in a clean message and this is not true.

:)    Technical.     part of the "problem"  which Im not sure is the correct word, but I'll use it for now.,   is that sentance structure is not the same in all languages, and trying to translate has to be a tough call.    Grammer checkers do not work "out of context" either.    

I lived in Korea for 2 years.   The first few months were a learning experience.    I had a Korean/English translation book with me...   but because of the sentance structure difference I once tried to inquire as to the locaton of a bathroom and wound up calling myself a bathroom   lol
