Strings need to be changed on "Settings > Notifications" screen

[imath]

I was playing with the great new Notifications (Screen) component, and when i've activated my settings tab i thought having a Nav and a Sub Nav with the same word might be a bit confusing. So i wonder if the Settings sub nav "Notifications" should be renamed like "Email notices" to "mark" the difference with the Notifications component.

As a french, i think we call the fact of receiving an email to inform us is "Alertes email" but it might be too strong in english "Email alerts"..

I've attached a screenshot to illustrate.

What do you think of renaming the Settings email notifications subnav ?

Hi imath, I was thinking the same thing. After the new Notifications component goes live, you will have some confusion over the naming of BP notifications and email notifications. I agree a distinction should be made.

Good catch, imath!

I totally agree. I think we can change the heading of the "Settings > Notifications" screen to "Email", but keep the "notifications" slug for people who might be hardcoding the slug in their themes / plugins.

Oops, meant to put this in 1.9.

Yup, what r-a-y said. 'Email' is good for the tab, but we can't change the 'notifications' slug for backward compatibility reasons.

In 7565:

Remove 'notifications' language in Settings component

We previously used the word "notification" to refer to the email notices
sent when certain events happened on the site. This causes some confusion with
the new top-level Notifications item, so we change the wording a bit.

Fixes #5240

Props imath, r-a-y
