Wrong. That should be "Commit-Zeitpunkt" because we are in the context menu of the history where the table head says "Commit Time" -> "Commit-Zeitpunkt" and we are talking about the same timestamp. Refering to the Committer makes no sence there.
Therefore the English base translation is wrong.

I'm not sure about this.
I would agree with you that it makes no sense to reference the committer time, since there's only the time when a commit was created.
What solution would you propose?
Should we change all translations, including the variable name, to Text.CommitCM.CopyCommitTime?
Or should we simply keep Committer-Zeitpunkt as the translation, since all the other languages also refer to it that way?

This translation is based on Git's own definition and can be understood as setting the author date (Author Date) and the committer date (Committer Date). Reference: https://git-scm.com/docs/git-commit#_commit_information

So, if I understand correctly, @gadfly3173, you would keep the current translation?

My view is that “Committer Date/Time” is the correct translation, and this is consistent with the Git documentation. However, I am not a maintainer, so the final decision rests with the maintainer @love-linger .

@gadfly3173 got a good point there! Committer-Time is technically correct and Commit-Time would be more UX friendly.
Happy with either solution and @love-linger can decide, agreed!

I believe both translations will not cause confusion for users. Either is acceptable. |
