Based on this link: https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/4510/why-is-cannot-spelled-as-one-word both look okay to me.

Overall I have no issues with the changes made in this PR.

(TBH I'd noticed most of this diff before but thought they were too pedantic to propose changing. To my mind this is more to avoid spending further time on it.)

Translators forms a good focus-group for Bitcoin Core UI testing :)

I think the current strings are better, and don't see rationale for changing them (exception ACK'd)

That leaves

  • "free space available", which I agree may not bother native speakers (it doesn't bother me, at least) but I can see why it may appear redundant to non-natives / English-as-a-second language speakers (as seen in the referenced issue in the PR description), so we may as well avoid the issue coming up
  • "can not", for which there are explanations and links above

Code review ACK 4982b32
Code review re-ACK 4874269
But would prefer the change in build-unix.md to be reverted, it's better to quote error messages verbatim even if they contain typos. (addressed)

Updated per review feedback to leave the error example as-is in doc/build-unix.md. Thanks!

Is there any value in translating this? I mean it is not possible to set the change position via the GUI, no?
