@Armin: I checked in this cset which corrects the issues in comments #3-#5 (http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/17d79913f065).

There are some occurences of "whitespace" and "White Spaces"

The notation should be consistent, of course. I'm not a native speaker of English, but I've never heard of a plural "White Spaces". I rather think of "White Space Characters" or in short "White Space"

I would also like to change the radio buttons for "Settings => General => Icon size => Small / Normal / Large"

" Normal" has a leading space which makes no sense.

Patch attached.

Rik, thanks for fixing that. Good point with the Merriam-Webster.

Antonio, thanks for finding even more typos. The typos have to be fixed in the C-source, as the *.ts files are generated automatically. Essentially it is

commnity => community

monospaced => mono-spaced (can't find it in the Merriam-Webster...)

Hello, the typos mentioned and some others are fixed in the attached en_US.ts, after doing a GNU Aspell pass.

Thanks. I changed the first two spellings (http://hg.savannah.gnu.org/hgweb/octave/rev/e251b75fab55).

For the last, Octave uses the guidelines from the U.S. Government Printing Office and the standard of spelling is the Merriam-Webster dictionary rather than the Oxford English dictionary. Webster spells the word without a hyphen as "nonexistent" so I'm going to leave that translation alone.

The following strings should be fixed for the English "source" strings of the translation files:

directroy => directory

Convert Line Ednings => Endings

Create nonexistent files => non-existent

see http://osdir.com/ml/linux.ubuntu.translators.en/2006-08/msg00045.html
