- Note: Proposals for Google Summer of Code projects are significantly different in structure, are submitted via Google's web app and may or may not have a corresponding proposal page.
The Problem
Because we use a common dialog for Export and Export Multiple we should have a form of words that is applicable to both and accurate in both cases. The current form of words is inaccurate when used for the Export Multiple use case as it refers to "Exporting the entire project..." when if fact it is exporting a labelled section only. We also have inconsistent wording usage between the various export forms with two different variations.
For Export Selected Audio we have a set of messages applicable only the exporting a selection of the audio
Proposed Feature
In the dialogs for Export and Export Multiple change the wording to read "Exporting the audio ..."
This should involve nine simple textual changes - and be very simple and straightforward.

Details
It's a bit peculiar how this is done, in that the message comes from the exporter, so each exporter has it's own messages. For each exporter there is a choice of two messages, depending on whether the "selectionOnly" flag is set or not.
PCM exporter (WAV)
Existing strings
- wxString::Format(_("Exporting the selected audio as %s"),
- formatStr.c_str()) :
- wxString::Format(_("Exporting the entire project as %s"),
- formatStr.c_str()));
Change required
change "Exporting the entire project..." to "Exporting the audio ..."
FFmpeg exporter
Existing strings
- wxString::Format(_("Exporting selected audio as %s"),
- ExportFFmpegOptions::fmts[mSubFormat].Description()) :
- wxString::Format(_("Exporting entire file as %s"),
- ExportFFmpegOptions::fmts[mSubFormat].Description()));
Change required
change "Exporting entire file..." to "Exporting the audio ..."
FLAC exporter
Existing strings
- _("Exporting the selected audio as FLAC") :
- _("Exporting the entire project as FLAC"));
Change required
change "Exporting the entire project..." to "Exporting the audio ..."
MP2 Exporter
Existing strings
- wxString::Format(_("Exporting selected audio at %ld kbps"), bitrate) :
- wxString::Format(_("Exporting entire file at %ld kbps"), bitrate));
Change required
change "Exporting entire file..." to "Exporting the audio ..."
MP3 Exporter
Existing strings
- if (rmode == MODE_SET) {
- title.Printf(selectionOnly ?
- _("Exporting selected audio with %s preset") :
- _("Exporting entire file with %s preset"),
- FindName(setRates, WXSIZEOF(setRates), brate).c_str());
- }
- else if (rmode == MODE_VBR) {
- title.Printf(selectionOnly ?
- _("Exporting selected audio with VBR quality %s") :
- _("Exporting entire file with VBR quality %s"),
- FindName(varRates, WXSIZEOF(varRates), brate).c_str());
- }
- else {
- title.Printf(selectionOnly ?
- _("Exporting selected audio at %d Kbps") :
- _("Exporting entire file at %d Kbps"),
- brate);
- }
Change required
change "Exporting entire File..." to "Exporting the audio ..." x 3 occurrences
OGG exporter
Existing strings
- _("Exporting the selected audio as Ogg Vorbis") :
- _("Exporting the entire project as Ogg Vorbis"));
Change required
change "Exporting the entire project..." to "Exporting the audio ..."
Command line exporter
Existing strings
- _("Exporting the selected audio using command-line encoder") :
- _("Exporting the entire project using command-line encoder"));
Change required
change "Exporting the entire project..." to "Exporting the audio ..."
MIDI (Note tracks) and Label tracks
There would appear to be no progress dialogs for the Export of Note tracks or Label tracks, presumably because both are so rapid.
