Hi Yaroslav

I use Ubuntu 5.04 and I have a Nautilus window open also. 'Up' 'Home'
and 'Computer' are the only things that come up with pop ups when
Nautilus is first opened. After I have clicked on a few directories the
'Back' and 'Forward' buttons have pop ups. The 'Back' buttons pop up is
'Go to the previous visited location' and the 'Up' button has 'Open the
parent folder' . Here 'Go' and 'Open' are used to describe the same
thing and 'previous visited' should be 'previously visited'. The use of
'location' and 'folder' to describe what looks on the surface to be the
same thing would need more explanation.

If I want students to use pop ups they need to be consistent and there
needs to be enough of them so before you start using the program you can
find out what the controls do.

I hope this helps. I'll discuss the document translation with Kylie.
