User tests: Successful: Unsuccessful:
This is the Pull request for the first part of the work by @rgmears to remove the word manager which is pretty redundant joomla/user-interface-text#42
This PR only looks at the top menu and the quicklinks. The screenshots below show you the before and after.

Thanks for setting this RTC but I am removing the RTC label as this change needs testing and approval as it changes something that's been this way for over 10 years.
successfully tested.
Thanks
Personally this looks a lot better to me. I'll bring it up in the CMS Maintainers Group though for you Brian :)
If accepted I will make all the extra PR that are needed
Isn't for Users, Menu and Extension the word Users, Menu and Extension redundant?
Menu -> Manager -> ... makes more sense for me as Menu -> Menu
Thats an interesting idea. Is this how it is done in german?

And how would it be handled on the quick menu
Is this how it is done in german?
In german it's "Menüs" -> "Menüs", "Benutzer" -> "Benutzer" and "Erweiterungen" -> "Erweiterungen".
Looks indeed a bit ugly, especially in the manager itself where you have "Menüs: Menüs" and "Benutzer: Benutzer" as the title.

Agree that having 'Menus : Menu(s)' inside the manager itself is a bit weird but then, what would it be on the Control panel?
"Structure
->Menu(s)"
?
Menu -> Manager ->
Menu -> Manager -> Add New Menu?
Extensions -> Manager?
Users -> Manager -> Add new User?
For the Toolbar it means:
(old) Menu Manager: Menus
(new) Menu: Manager
Extensions (nothing changed)
Extensions: Install
(old) User Manager: Users
(new) User: Manager
Personaly I don't think this is much better.
In german it's "Menüs" -> "Menüs", "Benutzer" -> "Benutzer" and "Erweiterungen" -> "Erweiterungen".

Hmm for sure only these 3. The other components (under the Components Dropdown) don't have this issue ;)
maybe we can remove the manager only particular for
Extensions -> Template Manager
Extensions -> Module Manager
...
And leave for the "Top entrys" like
Extensions -> Extensions Manager
Users --> User Manager
...
Menus -> Menu(s)
could be
Menus -> Manage
Users -> Users
could be
Users -> Manage
And Configuration -> Global Configuration
should be
Configuration -> Global
But what would you do on the quicklinks module?
And when you drill down into the manager page (PR2) what should it then show?
Do the same on the Quicklinks module. Except:
Structure
-> Menu(s)
-> Modules
(However I would rather go to Menu Items than Menus from that quick link.)
Not sure what you mean. Drill down? PR2?
Sorry for being so thick here. What is "list view title"?
But then you have a menu item called manager that loads a page with the
title menus.
That was the inconsistency I was trying to highlight

That was your suggestion several messages up
Menus -> Menu(s)
could be
Menus -> Manage
As for changing the names of the top level menus and the contents of the
menus I think that is best left to a separate issue

Seemed silly to have Menus -> Menu(s) in the menu.
In this context the Menus page is the same as Categories under Content. Perhaps changing the Menu item to Structure or Navigation (if Modules are left under Extensions) would work. Then you would have
Navigation v
-> Menu(s)
-> Menu Items
Alternatively change the title on the Menus page to Manage Menu(s) and everybody's happy.
There's only one point here which I don't agree with, and that is the change from 'Access Levels' to 'Access'. I think people would better understand what it means to include Access Levels, and I guess when translated that might also make it clearer in other languages.
Everything else I think is an improvement and de-clutters things.
as a non native :p agree with @RCheesley for 'Access Level' & still agree with the originals screen shots from @brianteeman
I will prepare an updated PR - thanks
