Quick search : fields are visually inversed

<!-- @page { margin: 2cm } P { margin-bottom: 0.21cm } -->

Hi



Here is a part of the "quick search / options" form as it appears in HTML of version 7.0 beta 7 :

<tbody >
                <tr >
                    <td class="caption">
      
                        I am a: 
                    </td>
                    
                    <td class="value">
                        <div class="clear_both"></div>
                 <div class="input_wrapper input_wrapper_select">
                       <select  class="form_input_select" name="LookingFor">
                               <option value="male" selected="selected">Man</option>                   
                               <option value="female" >Woman</option>
                        </select>
                            [...]
                </tr>                <tr >
                    <td class="caption">
                        
                        Looking for: 
                    </td>
                    
                    <td class="value">
                        <div class="clear_both"></div>
                                                <div class="input_wrapper input_wrapper_select">
                              <select  class="form_input_select" name="Sex">
                                   <option value="male" >Man</option>                   
                                   <option value="female" selected="selected">Woman</option>
                              </select>
                            <div class="input_close input_close_select"></div>
                        </div>
                        [...]
                    </td>
                </tr> 



Question : why is a <select name="LookingFor"> in the line "I am a:", and a <select name="Sex"> just after "Looking for :" ? Should it not be the contrary ?

I have tested the form, seems that when you say "I am a man, looking for a wooman", the result is OK, so it could be only a question of field names.

But it becomes a problem when you translate to another language, because the labels "LookinMale" & "LookinFemale" should have different translation than for the keys "Male" and "Female" : "I am a man" (nominative), "Looking for a wooman" (accusative). In fact I noted the problem when I tried to migrate translation I made for version 6.1, which looked fine, and then in version 7.0beta7 the fields seemed to be inversed : it appeared in accusative in the first line and in nominative in the second one. The search results were OK but the display of the form is wrong.



It can appear as minor by english speakers but it should be corrected before anyone tries to do a translation of the new version 7.0 (for the moment I just tried to migrate 6.1 labels to see what we will have to translate for the new version... but I will wait for the official 7.0 before trying to do the job...)
