Bug Description

While translating this project to Dutch I think I found some weird strings.
I think they can be expressed in a different way which sounds better.

124: A same name file exists, ....
Suggest: This file already exists, ....

140: Do not search web
Suggest: Do not search the Internet
Because in other strings you speak about Internet in stead of web

159: Auto embed the lrc that from local
160: Auto embed the lrc that from internet
Are those correct?

170: Change transparency by wheel
Suggest: Change transparency by mouse wheel

208: Switch to OSD mode
Suggest: Switch to Windowed mode
I'm not sure if that my suggestion is correct.
Otherwise, what does OSD (On Screen Display) mean?

Redundant strings?

If I can help in any way, let me know.

Cheers,
Rachid.

I now discovered what OSD means. But I think that's now clear by average users.

Hi, first of all, thank you for your great help on translating into your native language.

1. accept, you are right
2. accept, keep the same
3. Yes I think they are right, maybe here need good expression. they mean: the current lyrics is from local (internet), do you want to auto embed it into media file? Do you have any good idea?
4. accept
5. I think "OSD" is widely used in many Linux software, like Amarok.

Thank you, the latest pot is uploading.

Hey Frank,

3. Now I understand the meaning. Some suggestions:
Auto embed this lrc (local)
Auto embed this lrc (from Internet)

This lrc is from the Internet, auto embed it?
This lrc is from the Internet, do you want to auto embed it?

Hi Rachid:

For 3, I think, if the string is in a popup dialog and ask users to choose yes or no, you are right; but here, the strings are in preference dialog, it's not good.
