Bug Description

Binary package hint: unity

When Unity detects that I don't have the correct hardware (also, see bug 704883) it displays a dialog box. The text in this box needs some work in the EN_GB locale. It's very clumsy.

"It seems you do not have the hardware requirement to run unity"

* "It seems" - Either you do or you don't, or we have detected correctly or not, it doesn't 'seem'.
* "the hardware requirement" - there is only one requirement?
* "unity" - Wossat? Never heard of it guv, first time I've logged in see.. (should probably be capitalised if you're going to use it).
* "Installing a new driver" - s/new/supported/
* "can maybe" - wishywashy, be more clear, does this fix it or not?
* "to directly get" - clumsy
* "traditional" - Christmas is a tradition, GNOME 2 is not.

I get two options

"Change user session" and "Close"

Surely "Try classic desktop"?
