This PR currently has none of the required changelog labels.

A reviewer can add one of: T-Deprecation, T-Enhancement, T-Defect, T-Task to indicate what type of change this is, or add Type: [enhancement/defect/task] to the description and I'll add them for you.

I can provide an Arabic translation for the new added description, should I do this into the same PR ?!

[t3chguy]

should I do this into the same PR

No as it'll cause conflicts in Weblate, all translations must be done from Weblate only

No, the translations are done through Webplate

[tawfiek]

so should I delete what I added for en_US ?!

That should have been autogenerated using yarn i18n

Since you didn't do that you have globe-with-meridians-i18n failing

Design review

This is much easier to understand for me than the current version. Just the copy would ideally be slightly clearer.

• New copy
  • Clear cache and reload Element
  • This will delete all cached data, reload Element and automatically log you in. No key backups will be deleted.

Is it called key backups or backup keys in Element? Is it more useful to just say generally 'no security information will be deleted?

[t3chguy]

and automatically log you in.

This is misleading, as logging you in would make you expect the New sign in toasts on other devices which will not happen here. Your device ID (unique to each login) will not change

"No key backups will be deleted" is hard to understand for those not in the know, I'd say "Your end-to-end-encryption keys will not be affected" would work better

That's definitely easier for me to understand (and I'm not in the know) but do we refer to them as end-to-end-encryption keys anywhere else? I just wonder if you'd then be looking for that exact phrase in other areas of Element, and so it further complicates all the names we have/use. Eg "I'm looking for my e2e keys" Would rather use the exact same phrases or something so generic it doesn't sound potentially specific e.g:

"Your encryption settings will not be deleted or affected in anyway." But I don't know much about this area of Element.

@tawfiek Please update the PR with the copy suggestions above. This one looks almost good to go 😊

Bundling all of the points above, perhaps:

• Clear cache and reload Element
• This will delete all cached data and reload Element (you will still be signed in). Your encryption settings and keys will not be deleted or affected in anyway.

[tawfiek]

Yes, this much cleaner and very obvious, I'll add this to my schedule for the next week.
I think that I'll need to go through all the building and configuration stuff to run Matrix, it's been a long time since I contributed here.
But it'll be my pleasure to finish what I started with you guys 😇

No login required

I just noticed this, maybe it should be "No re-login required" or something along the lines?

Maybe "You'll stay logged in" is better.

@tawfiek any chance you could update this as requested? Thanks!

[andybalaam]

Feel free to pick this up when you get to it, but I'll mark it as draft for now so that it drops off our radar since it's not ready.

[andybalaam]

Please mark it as non-draft if you get this ready for another review. Thanks!

Hello, I need small assistance to get back into the community,
How to join Element channels?

It's been 2 years since we heard anything here I believe it's probably deprecated by new settings UI design, so I'm going to close this again. It's also in a rather broken state (github doesn't think there is a diff).
