Translation of 'natural'

Translation of 'natural'

We have a client with more than 2.000 platforms. An internal accessibility study had an issue related to translation.

In quiz module sometimes the term 'natural' is used. In one situation the sum-sign uses the information 'natural'. That makes no sense for a typical user.

In German we translated 'natural with 'natürlich'. We would like to replace 'natural' by an other term.

Any ideas?

It's this on aggregatesum | core_grades

In Dutch I made it also "Natuurlijk". But It doesn't make any sense.

This is the accompanied help text

aggregation_help | core_grades

The aggregation determines how grades in a category are combined, such as

* Mean of grades - The sum of all grades divided by the total number of grades
* Median of grades - The middle grade when grades are arranged in order of size
* Lowest grade
* Highest grade
* Mode of grades - The grade that occurs the most frequently
* Natural - The sum of all grade values scaled by weight

Something like "weighted sum" - "gewichtete Summe"

Does that make any sense?

two more


aggregationcoefextra_help | core_grades
If the aggregation is 'Natural' or 'Simple weighted mean' and the extra credit checkbox is ticked, the grade item's maximum grade is not added to the category's maximum grade. This will result in the possibility of achieving the maximum grade in the category without having the maximum grade in all the grade items. If the site administrator has enabled grades over the maximum, there might be grades over the maximum.

If the aggregation is 'Mean of grades (with extra credits)' and the extra credit is set to a value greater than zero, the extra credit is the factor by which the grade is multiplied before adding it to the total after the computation of the mean.

sumofgradesupgradedgrades | core_grades
Note: The aggregation method "Sum of grades" has been changed to "Natural" as part of a site upgrade. Since "Sum of grades" was previously used in this course, it is recommended that you review this change in the gradebook.

Shouldn't we submit a change in en_fix for 'aggregation_help' and 'aggregationcoefextra_help', so that the original string is fixed and the translations stay in sync with en pack?

I think it would probably be a good idea. If we can figure out what it really means smile.

So we talk about
aggregatesum | core_grades
aggregation_help | core_grades
aggregationcoefextra_help | core_grades
sumofgradesupgradedgrades | core_grades

There is clearly a difference between "sum of grades" and "natural", since the first one doesn't exist anymore ...
