Bug#766404: iceweasel-l10n-fi: misleading translation "Muokkaa valitsimia" in customizableWidgets

[Kalle Olavi Niemitalo]

Package: iceweasel-l10n-fi
Version: 1:31.2.0esr-2~deb7u1
File: /usr/lib/iceweasel/browser/extensions/langpack-fi at iceweasel.mozilla.org.xpi
Severity: minor
Tags: upstream, l10n

Click the menu button at the right end of the tool bar, and then
click the "Muokkaa" button at the bottom of the menu to start
customizing it.  By default, the topmost item in the menu is the
"Leikkaa Kopioi Liitä" (Cut Copy Paste) widget.  Drag the widget
to the "Lisää työkaluja ja ominaisuuksia" area at left side of
the menu.  A miniature version of the widget appears there, and
it has a caption below it: "Muokkaa valitsimia".  This caption is
misleading because you cannot use the widget to edit any
controls; rather, the widget consists of controls with which you
can edit text.

Within langpack-fi at iceweasel.mozilla.org.xpi, the string is defined in
chrome/fi/locale/browser/customizableui/customizableWidgets.properties.
It seems this has not yet been fixed in the upstream repository:
http://hg.mozilla.org/releases/l10n/mozilla-aurora/fi/file/ed5975cb1b75/browser/chrome/browser/customizableui/customizableWidgets.properties
http://hg.mozilla.org/l10n-central/fi/file/45c33ed9944f/browser/chrome/browser/customizableui/customizableWidgets.properties
but I'm not that familiar with their version-control practices.

Alternative translations:
* "Muokkausvalitsimet" would be more correct, and pretty close
  to the current translation.  I'm not sure "controls" is
  customarily translated to "valitsimet", though.
* "Muokkauksen valitsimet" would be consistent with "Lähennyksen
  valitsimet" in customizableWidgets.properties, but it seems a
  bit clunky and might even be misunderstood as something with
  which you can select edits that you have previously made.
* "Muokkaussäätimet" would be consistent with "Näytä säätimet"
  in chrome/fi/locale/browser/browser.dtd.  However, "säätimet"
  seems very appropriate for trackbars or dials but not so good
  for instant commands like "Leikkaa" (Copy).
* "Muokkauspainikkeet" would reflect that the widget consists of
  three buttons.  This is my favorite for now.
* "Muokkauskomennot" seems old-fashioned.  I don't think user
  interfaces nowadays talk about giving commands to the computer.
* "Leikepöytä" would reflect that all three buttons in the widget
  relate to the clipboard, but I think that word isn't used much
  nowadays, so users might not recognize it.
