where from comes this "Clear" ?
Open Inkscape, go to Object -> Transform... -> a pane will open in the right part, with some tabs and two buttons, Clear and Apply.
The Clear is already translated in my language, but I cannot find it anywhere. Where from comes this one ?
I have to change it, because at present it is translated as is, which in my language means something like "make clean". At the same time the tooltip says about resetting the values to default, which is something *different* than clear and more correct here, since some values will go to to 100,000 thus making the "clear" word totally unsuitable (at least in my language, Romanian).
How can I change its translation ?

It comes from GTK as is, look at line 151 in ../src/ui/dialog/transformation.cpp
resetButton = addResponseButton(Gtk::Stock::CLEAR, 0);
You either have to change that stock button translation in GTK or file a bug to i18n-ize this particular string differently (to allow separate l10n). The latter would work if you can prove this meaning is distinct from the stock button's one.

Hi, in Spanish we have the same issue: "Clear" is translated as "Limpiar" which actually means "Clean". I tend to leave it like that as there is no short translation for "Reset", which is what the button should say, in my opinion. I think that the term is ambiguous enough, both in English ("Clear") and in Spanish ("Limpiar"), to allow both interpretations ("Clean" and "Reset"), unless we don't want to be ambiguous. Do we?
Cheers,

This is written by Leszek Życzkowski in response to my question, with which I fully agree (at least in the case on which I started this thread). He wrote the idea better than me, so this is why I quote it: === The same problem is in Polish language. I suggest that Inkscape shouldn't use GTK translation. In the another places are the same problems. Please consider resign with GTK translation. ===
I cannot know what interaction may have the "Clear" GTK string on other GTK applications; although I suspect it is always wrong, I need to find another example in another application of this particular string, prior to fill a bug report. This for me is unlikely in short term, since I am on Windows and only use a few GTK ported applications (like Dia (similar issues there, but not critical), GIMP, Pidgin, Syplheed).
