Re: [Gretl-users] questions about translation details

I) "Data" menu: I interpret that as relating to the loaded dataset as a whole, so one may think of renaming that to "Dataset" instead. Given that interpretation, the following items should be moved elsewhere: 1. graph specified vars (-> "sample") 2. Multiple scatterplots (-> "sample") 3. everything from summary statistics to differences of variances should also go to "sample" II) "Sample" menu: in my view, all commands that act on or modify data in the current sample range (as opposed to the entire dataset) should come here. (see what was moved from "data" in I) Therefore remove: 1. Dataset structure / compact data /expand data (-> "data(set)") 2. restructure panel / transpose data (also -> "data(set)") [3. not sure about the missing-value and case marker things, don't know enough about them) III) "Variable" menu: interpreted as variants of univariate analsis, so move: 1. find (-> "data(set)") 2. define new variable ( "data(set)") [3. again not sure about the missing-value issue, why here _and_ in "sample"?) So what do you guys think? Of course experienced users would have to adapt, but I would argue the changes are relatively mild and make more sense in the longer run.
