User Interface Change (Default Language)

Created on 23 January 2008, over 17 years ago
Updated 28 January 2025, 5 months ago

Problem/Motivation

A number of strings have the pattern "Add a new ..". Using "add" and "new" in the same string is redundant.

Proposed resolution

A number of strings are edited to remove "new".

Remaining tasks

The latest patch needs some small corrections.

User interface changes

A number of strings are changed, for example:

"Add a new file." becomes "Add a file."

API changes

None.

Original report by [username]

Their is a number of problems within the Default language scattered within the system. The issue is the common usage of "Add a new". When you "Add" something, it is assumed to be new. Therefor the default language is a little bit bloated, and incorrect.

Update to #11.

    Thank you for creating this issue to improve Drupal.

    We are working to decide if this task is still relevant to a currently supported version of Drupal. There hasn't been any discussion here for over 8 years which suggests that this has either been implemented or is no longer relevant. Your thoughts on this will allow a decision to be made.

    Since we need more information to move forward with this issue, the status is now Postponed (maintainer needs more info). If we don't receive additional information to help with the issue, it may be closed after three months.

    Thanks!

    Since there's been no follow up in 3 months going to close out, but don't worry if still valid it can be reopened. Thanks all!

    For what it's worth, the premise of this issue is not always true: Sometimes we are distinguishing "Add new" from "Add existing".

    That said, core action links and buttons have undergone a lot of UX review and overhaul since this issue was filed and the general pattern is "+ Add thingy", so outdated is a good status.
