Correct text of "INSTALLED" label in Library/Boards Manager #1507
Conversation
An "INSTALLED" label is shown on the items in the Library Manager and Boards Manager views that are currently installed on the user's system. During some work to add missing internationalization to the UI strings, this text was changed to "INSTALL". That text is not appropriate for what this label is intended to communicate. The regression is hereby corrected, while retaining the internationalization of the string.

Is there a reason why "INSTALL" & "INSTALLED" are in all Caps while "Uninstall" is not? |

I also wondered about this @nmzaheer. From a previous discussion I had the impression the plan was to avoid imposing such styling within the strings themselves, instead relying on the code (e.g., CSS) to provide the styling:
I like this approach because the use of correct capitalization in the strings makes it easier for the translators to understand the meaning of the source strings (which may not be as obvious outside the context of the IDE UI). All caps implies a string is an acronym, which has very different considerations for translation than a normal word. |
