due label in task editor says "Due for" should say "Due on"

Here is a screenshot.

And a patch

I did not update the translation files

Thanks Bryan for reporting the bug, and also providing a patch for it.

I searched right now for the right label to show. As English is not my first language, I'd like to have your and others' opinions on this. Which is the most apt label to show ? - 'Due'/'Due on'/'Due for' ?

Yes, 'Due for' doesn't seem right, but I don't know if 'Due' is better or 'Due on' is.

Please comment your suggestions below

NP. So if we changed it to just "Due" then we should also change "Starting on" to "Start"

So in these contexts you have larger sentences that are implied:

1. This task is starting on 11/5/2013
2. This task is due on 11/6/2012

To keep the UI compact and succint my personal preference is:

Start
Due

patch to fix both labels

Changes Starting on Label in Task Editor to Start
Changes Due for Label in Task Editor to Due

Sorry above patch still has Due for in it.

I would go with 'Due on'.

I am interested in fixing this bug. The way I see it, "Starts on" and "Due on" would be the correct labels here, since we are referring to a task and stating its start and end dates. Think of it as "Task starts on" and "Task is due on". Is that fine?

Here is the updated patch

contents:

changed labels to

due on
start on

I guess starts on is the right label

Hi,
When you wish to work on a bug, please assign it to yourself to prevent conditions like this :)

I will keep that in mind next time. I didn't even know I could just assign myself. :D

I followed the guide at https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/gtg/contributing. Maybe this info needs to go there too. :)

And going by the guide, I had created a branch and assigned you to review it. Is that the preferred way to do bugfixes, or should I have sent a patch instead?

Creating a branch is a proper way. I know that you had assigned it to me
and I will review it soon!
