Change typo in lng - use "Total Commander" instead of "totalcmd"

[oko]

In english language of TC I have noticed couple of "Totalcmd" words occured instead of "Total Commander". When it appears in dialog boxes common user can be confused if it means program Total Commander or some kind of special file named Totalcmd or totalcmd dir or what is Totalcmd?
Items in lng: 5891, 1305, 168, 141.

Agreed that "Totalcmd" should not be used.

I think, that Totalcmd means the Totalcmd.exe itself as an executable file, not as the regular program's name.

I tried replacing the 5 occurrences of Totalcmd in the English language file. I then tested the 4 dialog boxes where the strings occur, and there were no space problems in any of them with the longer strings.

So it should be straight forward for Ghisler to change this - which I think it should be.

I prefer not to change this, sorry.

Why?

[ghisler(Author)]

Because it doesn't really matter, and I don't want to contact all translators for something not necessary.

Because it doesn't really matter...

I agree that it is a minor issue. However, I do feel that fixing minor things like this does improve Total Commander. It enhances the overall user experience and makes the product more user-friendly.
Will you no longer fix other small issues as well, like typos and small cosmetic such as misalignments, etc.?

...and I don't want to contact all translators for something not necessary.

You could opt to not inform the translators of the change, because as you say, it doesn't really matter.
Or you could postpone the change or postpone contacting the translators until a later version where translators need to be contacted anyway.

I see it differently, the Tc is a tool for professionals but at least for experienced users. And different names are common for this program: Tc totalcmd Totalcommander Total Commander... and it's definitely good if the user sees that this is okay and normal and it is up to the user how he uses the different names and that is even supported by Tc. Even inexperienced users and new users will not misunderstand the different terms but will appreciate them.
