Bug ID: 491630
Summary: User-facing use of word "module" considered jargon?
Classification: Applications
Product: systemsettings
Version: 6.1.4
Platform: openSUSE
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal

System Settings module mention
SUMMARY
If you change a setting in one KCM, and click to navigate to another without
first Applying, an error message appears that refers to "the current module".
This use of the word "module" here seems a bit jargon-y to me, especially as
(as far as I can see) they are not generally referred to as modules in the UI.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open System Settings
2. Click on Mouse & Touchpad, Mouse
3. Change setting of Invert scroll direction
4. Don't click Apply
5. Click on Sound
OBSERVED RESULT
Error message appears saying "The settings of the current module have changed.
Do you want to apply the changes or discard them?"
EXPECTED RESULT
Maybe "The settings on the current page have changed" or "The settings on this
page have changed" would be better. But please let someone who is good at
technical end-user writing take a look at this rather than just me! Also see
the HIG https://develop.kde.org/hig/text_and_labels/
