I think the menus are serving different purposes though. Menus like "Layer" are operations that you perform on a layer. The effects menu serves as more of a collection of things that you can do to the document. "Change Document" menu doesn't sound very good :)
Hmm, Alan is sounding more convincing on this. All the other items are singular.
I don't really care that much, but I would say that "Effects" feels more natural to me than "Effect". Perhaps it's different across the pond ;) I'll go with majority opinion, as long as we don't change the name entirely again ;)
It isn't clear which scripts will pop a dialog and which dont (I'll have to recheck the *HIG but) some of them should probably have ... ellipsis after the menu lable.
That makes sense to me, but I don't think something this trivial is worth breaking the hard freeze.
Plus, it might risk invalidating some strings and throwing off the translators.
I think that we can translate before adding the "..." at the end. How does this effect RTL languages? Can I just append "..." on the end of the string and Glib::ustring will figure it out for me? Does any language have a different marking for this?
However, this might be worth fixing for 0.44.1. Alan, can you check that there's a bug in on this one?
Make sure to assign it to me.
