GtkListBox "the row to unselected" "the row to unselect" [1]
GtkMenuButton "hether to show a dropdown " "whether to show a dropdown "
GtkNotebook "the tab label idget" "the tab label widget"
GtkNotebook "must share a common group identificator" "must share a common group identifier" [2]
GdkDeviceTool "the identificator is unique" "the identifier is unique" [2]
GdkDeviceTool "different hardware identificators." "different hardware identifiers." [2]
GdkDeviceTool "The hardware identificator of this tool." "The hardware identifier of this tool. [2]
  • [1] This was possibly meant to be to be unselected. Pedantically, the positive action for removing a selection would be to deselect; however, as it's used everywhere else, I'm assuming unselect is gtk specific jargon.
  • [2] identificator is a common trap for native Spanish and Portuguese speakers. English's identifier comes from the French spelling and is more disconnected to its Latin root, identificare (where English gets identification)
