Fix casing in automatic field editor by Hamsyz · Pull Request #15079 · JabRef/jabref

Hamsyz · 2026-02-10T13:25:29Z

Fixed the capitalization errors in "Keep modifications" and "Copy or move content" labels within the Automatic Field Editor dialog. I wanted to add screenshots of the changes but sadly , even after 3 hours of struggle i couldn't open jabref on my computer.

Steps to test
Open JabRef with a test library (e.g. chocolate.bib).

Select all entries.

Go to Edit -> Automatic field editor.

Verify that the checkboxes now correctly display "Keep modifications" and "Copy or move content" (with lowercase 'm').

    @Override
    public String getTabName() {
-        return Localization.lang("Copy or Move content");
+        return Localization.lang("Copy or move content");


2. copy or move content key 📘 Rule violation ✓ Correctness

The PR changes the localization key casing from Copy or Move content to Copy or move content, but other locale files still define only the old key, which can cause untranslated tab titles in non-English locales. This violates the requirement to reuse existing localization strings and keep user-facing text properly localized.

Agent Prompt

## Issue description The PR introduces a new localization key (`Copy or move content`) by changing key casing, but other locales still provide translations for the existing key (`Copy or Move content`). This can cause missing translations in non-English locales. ## Issue Context Localization keys should remain stable across all `JabRef_*.properties` files. Changing the key text in Java creates a new lookup key and bypasses existing translations. ## Fix Focus Areas - jabgui/src/main/java/org/jabref/gui/edit/automaticfiededitor/copyormovecontent/CopyOrMoveFieldContentTabView.java[90-90] - jablib/src/main/resources/l10n/JabRef_en.properties[2605-2605]
