WebUI search bar, wrong translations for Greek.

Project Member Reported by dpa...@chromium.org, Jul 19 2017

Issue description

In chrome://settings the text displayed within the search bar says (see screenshot):

"Ρυθμίσεις αναζήτησης", instead it should say "Αναζήτηση ρυθμίσεων"

In chrome://history the text displayed within the search bar says (see screenshot):

"Ιστορικό αναζήτησης", instead it should say "Αναζήτηση ιστορικού"


The current translations are wrong, since they mean a completely different thing, because the verb and the subject are reverse in both cases.

@shirleycollins, could you let us know how to update the translations?
Sorry for the late reply on this. 

In chrome://settings, the English source text is "Search settings" which the description is "Label for the link that leads to the Search settings (preferences) page. Appears on any page, in the top navigational bar, near the user's name and the Sign in link or the Sign out link." In this case, it was translated to "Ρυθμίσεις αναζήτησης".

In chrome://history, the English source text is "Search history" which the description is "Refers to the set of websites that have been visited in the past.." In this case, it was translated to "ιστορικό αναζήτησης".

@dpapad@chromium.org, can you please advise if the description is clear for the translation? If not, I will engage the LM to clarify the translation. Thanks.

Where are those descriptions come from? They seem completely unexpected.

The description for settings is at [1] which says
"Label for input field to search within settings"

The description for "Search history" is at [2], which says
"Title of the button in the history page that triggers a search"

Granted the description for [2] is not 100% accurate because it refers to a button instead of a input field placeholder, but it's significantly different than the one mentioned in comment#4.
