A release node has a table that lists the files attached to this release node.

The table has titles and one of these titles is Download. This word is typically translated with a meaning of an action link (German: "Herunterladen"). This indicates that a user should click on this title to download the file and this is really wrong as this title sorts the filenames.

Are we able to change the title of this table, please? I'd like to change it to Filename.

Sorry, no. "Filename" would be wrong here. Look on d.o:

Example d.o download table on a project node

The things in that column aren't filenames, they're links you can click to download (depending on the file extension you prefer).

The action verb is actually what's intended here.

It's about this:

Hehe, I found a bug... two items are listed and it's named singular. This need to be Downloads in plural as well. With the S there is no problem. "Files" would also be an alternative that may be better.

Ahh, I see. It wasn't clear what table you were talking about, but a picture is worth 1000 words. ;) Definitely a minor bug.

Thanks,

Ah, no. It need to be named "Filename" or Filenames or File

We already use Files somewhere else... maybe best to reuse.

This indicates that a user should click on this title to download the file and this is really wrong as this title sorts the filenames.

The click sorting was removed, so this no longer needs to have anything to do with sorting. “A user should click on this title to download” sounds accurate for what the links do.

Sorry, this has nothing to do with sorting.

The problem is the current wording is typically an action. The table title should be changed to "Files" as "Download" is the action to tell a user to click on the link to download a file. This has totally differnet meaning in German and other languages and I run the site in German.

For project it does not hurt to rename this table header and for all translated sites it helps on usability side.
