[Proposal] Stop using Hungarian notation for I18n strings

Added by Eric Davis at 2011-10-25 11:30 pm

Using Hungarian notation for i18n strings is starting to become annoying and is duplicating strings. It shouldn't matter if something is a text, label, or setting, or field as long as the string is used correctly.

I propose from this point on new i18n strings should just be named after what the printed string is. :issue for "Issue", index_by_date for "Index by date", etc.

I could live with that I think, the label_ at least are use by the tabular_form_builder at least though.

I think the tabular builder should be changed so it doesn't make assumptions about the label. If the field is due_date then use the i18n string for due_date... :) If I recall the label can be overridden to if it needs to be.
