the ETA string is marked for translation and is "eta" in english and only the german translators use ETA.

Was changed from ETA to eta in changeset 7ed9c14ae9f8, 2005-06-25. That probably places it somewhere in 1.10.x.

I could ask Hrvoje why he made the change; maybe he felt the lowercase version was a bit more aesthetic... in any case, though, I don't believe I really care enough to pursue it further, so marking Won't Fix.

I might be totally smoking something here, but I seem to have some vague memory of it actually being ETA originally, and then being changed to eta (before I was here). I'll look into that, and see if I can find any relevant mail threads.

Hello,

forwarded http://bugs.debian.org/510587
--8<--
Apologies for the most minor and pedantic bug but ...
When run interactively wget computes and displays an estimated time of arrival. It labels this as 'eta', however, as a ancronym it should be ETA. Thanks.
--8<--

http://acronyms.thefreedictionary.com/ETA confirms this.

the patch would be

diff --git a/src/progress.c b/src/progress.c
index 8291d2b..4347d9e 100644
--- a/src/progress.c
+++ b/src/progress.c
@@ -803,7 +803,7 @@ get_eta (int *bcd)
{
/* Translation note: "ETA" is English-centric, but this must
be short, ideally 3 chars. Abbreviate if necessary. */
- static const char eta_str[] = N_(" eta %s");
+ static const char eta_str[] = N_(" ETA %s");
static const char *eta_trans;
static int bytes_cols_diff;
if (eta_trans == NULL)

and hope translations will be all updated.;)

thx.

Noèl
