faarborg on "browsing history"...
Axel Hecht
just wanted to publicize what Alex Faarborg said about how to translate
"browsing history" in bug 462041.
> The term "browsing history" or just "history" is meant to encompass all of the
> things that are implicitly collected while you use Firefox (visited pages,
> cache, cookies, searches, form entries, etc.) This is a modified definition
> from previous releases (it used to just mean visited pages), but simply
> localizing "Browser history" to a translation of "history" is fine.
>
> The goal is to be able to say "history will not be collected" or "clear recent
> history" and the user won't have to worry about the details of what that
> includes. Or, if they are curious, they can open up the privacy prefpane, set
> the collection option to Custom, and see that all of this stuff is now in a
> group box called "History."
>
> In the case of the preference for how much time Firefox should remember history
> (with a default of 90 days), we are planning to use this time range for the
> full set of things encompassed by the term "history." (although I'm not sure if
> all of the sub-components have available time stamps in place yet).
