Status-react: v1 Copy Changes - Bits & Pieces

[rachelhamlin]

Problem

App copy has never been reviewed holistically, end-to-end.

I did so over the past week to ensure clarity, brevity and good grammar. Kept language neutral due to a) time constraint, b) lack of formal brand/creative process and c) desired ease of translation.

Reviewed with Jonny, Graham, Hester and Maciej in phases.

Additional edits to come in separate issues. This first round is low-hanging fruit, with easy consensus to change.

Implementation

This PDF shows various screens in their current state, with desired copy alongside them.

This additional PDF contains edits to the seed phrase backup flow.

Acceptance Criteria

Please match desired changes exactly, including capitalization and punctuation.
There are two changes to ignore in the PDF: please leave Manage assets on wallet menu, and ignore the change from mail servers to history nodes.

Keycard onboarding step 3

• Backup "Seed" phrase > Back up seed phrase
• With this seed phrase you can always get your key back. Write the seed phrase down. Keep it safe, offline, and separate from this device. > You need this seed phrase to get your key back. Write it down. Keep it safe, offline, and separate from this device.
• You cannot do this later. Without the seed phrase you will not be able to access your key or any assets associated with it if you loose your device. > You won’t have a second chance! If you lose or change your device, you will not be able to access your key or any assets associated with it unless you have your seed phrase.

Seed Phrase Backup

You are in charge of the security of your data, and backing up your seed phrase is the best safeguard. > Money, messages, all of it. Status can't access your data nor help you retrieve it. You are in charge of your keys, and your seed phrase is how you recover them. Back it up somewhere safe!
• OK, continue > Okay, continue
• Backup seed phrase > Back up seed phrase
• This is your seed phrase. You use it to prove that this is your wallet. You only get to see it once! Write it on paper and keep it safe in a secure place. You will need it if you lose or reinstall your wallet. > These 12 words are your seed phrase. You need it to recover your account when you change phones or reinstall. Write it on paper and keep it safe. You only get to see it once!

Nice and great modifications that i can refer on, for future interest in translation or editing.
Thanks for this great post @rachelhamlin

More to come @Sirlupinwatson1!

@rachelhamlin Not sure if this is the right place or not but don't forget to clean up the language/translations related to the custom-seed-phrase-1 and custom-seed-phrase-2 labels that are no longer representative of what's happening when restoring a multiaccount from a seed phrase.

[rachelhamlin]

@acolytec3 would you want to go ahead and fix that? I think you understand it best. I'm looking at it in en.json and don't understand why the message is split into custom-seedphrase-1 and custom-seedphrase-2 - again can pay you directly :)

My comment with updated copy

[acolytec3]

@rachelhamlin Sure. Just to verify my understanding. You want the english copy updated to below?
This seed phrase doesn't match our supported dictionary and can't be used. Some words may be misspelled.

I can't comment on why there's the breakout between the custom-seed-phrase-1 and 2 but presumably due to field lengths or something given that the original copy here actually had custom-seed-phrase-3 and 4 too (though I removed those in my earlier PR). I'll put all of your copy in custom-seed-phrase-1 and update custom-seed-phrase to "Invalid Seed Phrase".

I'm assuming I should leave in custom-seed-phrase-2 as blank in the English translation and untouched in all the other translations since it looks like the copy isn't broken down into discreet sentences in the two fields. Right?
