Welcome Screen: 'mobile-fruit' naming scheme is confusing
Summary:
Translators have expressed confusion over the name choice. Others just find it sound unprofessional.
Steps to reproduce:
- open Inkscape
What happened?
- in the Welcome dialog file format tab, find various variations of 'mobile-fruit' instead of 'Apple' or 'macOS' or 'iPad'/'iPhone'.
What should have happened?
In my humble opinion, this workaround and refusal to name Apple and its products (why do we name Facebook and Instagram? What's the difference?) just sounds silly.
We can use the proper name and a ® / ™ sign, whichever is appropriate, might require some research.
This would have the benefit of:
- sounding less quirky
- being understandable to everyone
