Typos, grammatical errors, inconsistent vocabulary, a confusing option, and more in the English translation. [imo, low priority]

[tinygwen]

To preface, this issue is absolutely nitpicking, complains about the benign, and should be considered a very low-priority. Many of these bullets are also very subjective, especially my proposed solutions in expected behavior. This may be the most annoying, inconsequential issue ever submitted to any project, ever. (bullet 18 may be a bit more important, though. Maybe 6 as well?)
I know exactly what most of these bullets are trying to say (save for 18 which confused me. Aside from that,) they just struck me as a tad odd as a native English speaker, and I had thought that many of these may be something you're not aware of. I'd imagine others may feel silly making an issue like this, but if no one told me about most of this on a project I had worked so hard on, i'd be a tad annoyed ^^. I'm loving Planify btw, I only share because I want more people to see how great the app is and I fear it may leave some with a bad first impression.

Describe the issue

1. in the Meet Planify project, the task 'Reorder yours to-dos' contains an erroneous spelling of 'your'.
2. In the Meet Planify project, the task 'tap this to-do''s description states that "Completed to-dos are collected at the bottom of your project.", however default behavior is that to-dos disappear. (might be a bug on my end?)
3. In the Meet Planify project, the task 'Create a new to-do' contains a confusing description. "(...) enter any pending and tap the blue 'Save' button." I'm not sure what a "pending" is. I'm unsure if this is a typo or if i'm unfamiliar with the vocabulary. Also, the save button is labeled "Add To-Do" not "Save"
4. In the Meet Planify project, the to-do 'plan this to-do by today or later' refers to the schedule button as the "calendar button"
5. In the Meet Planify project, the task 'Create a project' reads 'Organize your to-dos better! (...)'. This is correct but is a slightly unnatural phrasing
6. In the Meet Planify project, the task 'enable synchronization of third party service' only mentions Todoist, and doesn't make the benefit of doing enabling synchronization clear. 'service' should also be 'services'.
7. In the Meet Planify project, the task 'Tag your to-dos!' references "the bottom", which is vague. This also happens to be a run-on sentence. The UI of Planify also refers to tags as "Labels", which may confuse the user when they can't find a "Tags" button (see bullet 19).
8. In the Meet Planify project, the task 'set timely reminders' contains an incomplete sentence.
9. The Meet Planify project makes no mention of Attachments, Priorities, Pins, Notes, Duplication, Deletion, and Change History
10. The free-text describing the Meet Planify project reads "(...) you can always create a new one from settings.", which is a bit stilted. It could also potentially be beneficial to point the user to where this button is. Perhaps this should also be a pinned note, instead of free text.
11. Sometimes references to specific buttons, ideas, or features are capitalized as if they're proper nouns, but other times not. This may be a problem throughout the application. I would also expect To-do to be capitalized as 'To-Do' when it is capitalized.
12. In Preferences, the Support Planify dialogue is strange.
13. In Preferences, the Create Tutorial Project button's description is awkward.
14. In Preferences, the Task Settings button is erroneously labeled "Task Setting"
15. The description in the Quick Find menu is an incomplete sentence.
16. In the preferences menu, 'Create Tutorial Project' as well as all items in the Reach Us section contain an arrow which imply they have sub-menus, when this is not the case.
17. The options in Preferences 🡒 Task Settings 🡒 Default Priority are vague. Users may not be familiar with what options 1, 2, and 3 are. Currently, its not clear if 1 is low or high.
18. In Preferences 🡒 Task Settings, Attention at One is vague. The user has to experiment to understand what this means. They weren't tutorialized to know what One is, and there's no description for the option.
19. Planify is inconsistent with what it labels to-dos/tasks and labels/tags
20. In the skewer menu while in a project workspace, its unclear what the When? button does. The Archive button is also inconsistent with other buttons in the menu (this is also true for the menu when right clicking a project in the sidebar).
21. in the view menu while in a project workspace, the Sort By section has an option called Sorting, which is a bit awkward to me.
22. in the skewer menu while in a project workspace, 'show completed tasks' actually brings up a menu to view completed tasks.
23. In the skewer menu while in a project workspace, 'select' and 'paste' are vague.

Expected behavior (suggestions)

1. Change 'yours' to 'your'
2. This description could be updated to reflect default behavior. Alternatively, you could add behavior that causes completed to-dos to go to the bottom of a project and not disappear, and then make that default behavior. (If this is already the case, i'm experiencing a bug that causes completed to-dos to disappear in the project workspace) As a bonus, the to-do could also mention that users can view completed to-dos by going to the sort menu and clicking 'show completed tasks' Note bullet 22. As another bonus, It may also be of benefit to note that users can add a Completed To-dos menu to their sidebar by going to Preferences 🡒 Sidebar 🡒 Show in Sidebar 🡒 Completed
3. that the description be something to the effect of "Edit the task however you like and click the blue 'Add To-Do' button."
4. refer to the calendar button as the Schedule button
5. a more natural phraseology would be "Organize your to-dos" or "Better organize your to-dos"
6. the task should have service in its title changed to be plural and mention Nextcloud, and make the benefits of each clear (this was unclear to me at first... that Todoist is good for collaboration and that Nextcloud is good for sync).
7. be more specific. "(...) at the bottom of this (or any other) to-do.". Add a comma as well "To add a Tag, click(...)". Change mentions of 'Tag' to be 'Label' to remain consistent with how the UI refers to the feature, or have the UI refer to what it currently calls Labels as 'Tags'
8. The sentence "You want Planify to send you a notification to remind you of an important event or something special." is incomplete. Replace the sentence with something along the lines of "Do you (...)?" or "If you (...).". As a bonus, it may also be worth mentioning that reminders are useful for much more. I use them to schedule my to-dos. It may also be good for it to also make mention of Planify's ability to set repeating to-dos.
9. Create to-dos which mention attachments, priorities, pins, notes, duplication, deletion, change history, and other features that Planify is capable of such as its kanban board view (which I had missed the existence of at first), filtering, the quick add shortcut, backups, and even supporting Planify if they like it (since its a great project that deserves the support ^^). Perhaps ones relating to to-dos could be moved into a 'to-dos' section, or be rolled into the 'Create a new to-do' to-do if it can be done from the to-do creation menu.
10. Change the text to be something to the effect of "you can always create a new one from the settings.", maybe also refer to settings as "preferences", since that's what Planify's UI refers to the menu as. That, or rename the preferences menu to be 'Settings' (which may make sense, since it contains more than just the user's preferences (like theming, sidebar view, etc) but settings for the application as well (third party integrations, backups, markdown formatting, etc.). Though, it would also still contain non-settings like contact, support, and the privacy policy). You could also mention where the button to recreate the Meet Planify project is (Preferences 🡒 Create Tutorial Project)
11. An example of this would be the titles in the Meet Planify project, as well as the sentence "To add a Tag click on the tag button(...)" in the description of the "Tag your to-dos!" to-do. You could ctrl+f for the vocabulary that Planify uses and make sure that capitalization of proper nouns are consistent, and that what is and isn't considered a proper noun is consistent (as an example, it wouldn't make sense for Tags to be proper, but for Priority not to be). As well, generally when a proper noun contains a hyphen (ex. Spider-Man), both words are capitalized. I would suggest 'To-do' be changed to 'To-Do' to follow the common practice. This all should be taken into consideration when reading my suggestions for what a piece of text could be. This bullet is somewhat related to bullet 19
12. "(...) and passion for open source." is technically fine, but I think most would refer to "the open source community" rather than just the concept of open source. Though, this is technically fine the way it currently is. The next sentence starts "However, (...)", but isn't in contrast to the sentence that comes before it. The second sentence also uses the word "support" twice, which is usually frowned on in favor of using more varied words, but also isn't incorrect. Perhaps change to something like "(...) and want to contribute to its development,(...)" The 'Supporting Us' button is also strange, as tense isn't normally referenced when describing a verb as a command, suggestion, or option. Perhaps consider changing it to something like 'Support Us'.
13. "Learn the app (...)" is correct, though it sounds a bit awkward to me as a native speaker. "Learn how to use Planify (...)" may be a more natural phrasing.
14. Should probably be "Task Settings" (plural), since the menu contains more than one setting, and when in the task settings menu the title becomes "Task Settings". Maybe also consider changing to "To-Do Settings" (18)
15. I would suggest changing to something to the effect of "Here you can quickly switch between your projects, find your To-Dos, and search for your Tags."
16. Consider removing the arrows on these buttons, so that the user intuitively understands that clicking the button is an action, and doesn't open a sub-menu.
17. The setting may benefit from labeling each option as Low, Medium, and High, instead of as 1, 2, 3.
18. Add a description describing what the Attention at One option does, or change the name of the setting entirely. My suggestion would be "Automatically Collapse To-Dos" with the description "Automatically collapse all other To-dos when expanding a To-do"
19. I would suggest changing any mention of To-do to be changed to Task, or vice-versa. Same goes for Tags and Labels. Especially if either concept is intended to be represented by a proper noun. (I prefer Task since it feels more natural when used in a sentence, but To-do is a bit less generic.) This all should be taken into consideration when reading my suggestions for what a piece of text could be. This bullet is somewhat related to bullet 11.
20. I'd suggest changing the 'When?' button to be labeled something like 'Schedule Project'. I'd also suggest changing the 'Archive' button to 'Archive Project' and changing 'Duplicate' to be 'Duplicate Project', just in case the conveyance wasn't clear enough, and to be more consistent with options like 'Delete Project' and 'Edit Project'. This could also be changed in the menu that appears when right-clicking the title of a project in the sidebar.
21. I'd suggest changing the section name to be 'Sorting' and the button to be 'Sort By'
22. I would suggest the button be changed to 'view completed to-dos', since completed to-dos don't repopulate in the project actually repopulate the project, and the button just lets you view the completed to-dos.
23. I would suggest changing the Select button to be labeled something like 'Multi-Select' and the Paste 'Create To-Do from Clipboard'.

I may open a PR for these later, though no promises. I've procrastinated on this quite a bit already :P
I noticed one typo and went to open an issue, which turned to two, four... eventually i found myself combing through the whole application, haha.

[tinygwen]

Thinking about it, there may also be issues in the website, readme, and the flathub store page. However i don't want to bother you about this any more than i have unless there's interest or if you found this actually useful, so let me know if that would be ^^;

Hello and thank you for using Planify! I appreciate you taking the time to review this. Indeed, English is not my native language, and in some parts, I used a translator for support. I would be very grateful if you could create the PR with the improvement.

Best regards.
