Please put some focus on strings when reviewing, not just code. The English text that landed doesn't make any sense

error-start-after-end-on-same-date=End date must come after start date on the same date

In fact, the attached spec in bug 977050 talks about "End TIME must come after start TIME on the same date". And, even like that, I still think that's a weak copy, way too hard to understand.

The first consequence is that you'll have to land the string with a different ID at this point, and adapt the code.
Matej, any thought on this string?

"End time must come after start time on the same date"

It's displayed when you edit an event, and the result is an event on a single day, but with end time before start time.

I actually see two different strings in the spec:

"End date must come after start date"

"End time must come after start time on the same date"

It would be great if we could change them both for consistency. Here's what I would suggest:

"The event can not end before its start date"

"The event can not end before its start time"

(Setting a needinfo? for Stephany to confirm whether we're using "can not" or "cannot" in FxOS)

Thanks for Francesco's reminder. :)
Francesco and Matej,
Previously, our calendar only display "End date must come after start date" when user set end time or date prior to the start time or date. The reason I added the "End time must come after start time on the same date" is because I want to emphasis to the user that only the time is incorrect. How about we use "End date must come after start date" & "End time must come after start time", is that more clear?

Personally I find Matej's suggestions much easier to understand at first glance, and the meaning doesn't change. When I ready the current ones, it's like I'm reading an equation, it feels less natural.

I agree. I think the reason the original is confusing is that it uses the word "after," but the thing that has to come after actually appears first in the sentence. You have to read it a couple of times to make sure you understand it correctly.

OK, what you guys said make sense to me. So should we just go ahead with the strings below which you've suggested?
"The event can not end before its start date"
"The event can not end before its start time"
Thanks
There's a pending NI for Stephany. Besides that, it would be nice to have this landing before FL (Sep 1).

I took a quick look at the strings, and it doesn't look we're very consistent with "can not" vs "cannot".

Given that we're so inconsistent already, I think we can move forward with this now and then clean up all those strings as part of the copy audit that Stephany is doing.
The copy audit started late and will not be done for 2.1. Matej's suggestions should be included and there is plenty of time for them to land ahead of string freeze on 9/2.
Flags: needinfo?(swilkes)
Also, "cannot" is correct, but we will use contractions going forward, so "can't" would be acceptable as well. Thanks!

I don't think I'm the right person for this kind of review. I'm not sure what an "l10n label" is.

from irc, strings look good to Matej, IDs look good to me, f+.

LGTM. minimal changes, and since it affected the string also updated the l10n IDs.
