Each of us here who knows people that use English as their UI languague (regardless of whether they are native speakers or not, doesn't matter if they use Plasma) takes a couple of them,</p>
<ul class="remarkup-list">
<li class="remarkup-list-item">shows them the screenshots with both terms (individually, in randomized order)</li>
<li class="remarkup-list-item">asks them what they think this setting means</li>
<li class="remarkup-list-item">records the answers</li>
<li class="remarkup-list-item">records whether the participant should be considered a "regular" or "advanced" users</li>
</ul>
<p>Yes, the sample would be relatively small, but even a small sample of people != us tells us more about our users than our introspection.<br />
Plus, we might be surprised by them either understanding both terms, or maybe neither of them (which would mean we'd have to come up with a better term).</p>
<p>If we don't know enough people, we can easily reach out to other KDE people to do the same, since it's very easy to do.</p>
<p>This may sound like overkill for you, but I honestly believe we should start getting in the habit of doing more empirical research, rather than each of us thinking we magically know best.</p></div></div><br /><div><strong>REPOSITORY</strong><div><div>R119 Plasma Desktop</div></div></div><br /><div><strong>REVISION DETAIL</strong><div><a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/D13593">https://phabricator.kde.org/D13593</a></div></div><br /><div><strong>To: </strong>ngraham, Plasma, VDG<br /><strong>Cc: </strong>colomar, mart, davidedmundson, Fuchs, abetts, nicolasfella, plasma-devel, ragreen, Pitel, ZrenBot, lesliezhai, ali-mohamed, jensreuterberg, sebas, apol<br /></div>
