As the sentence includes the preposition into, the and pasting it seems implicit to me.
It would be like saying copying and writing it into your paper book; writing seems implicit.

I disagree. I believe "copying and pasting it into" makes more sense than just "copying it into". "Copy and paste" is a pretty commonly understood action.

To keep consistency Replaced all instance of "copying and pasting it to" to "copying and pasting it into"

This is a bug if the language is wrong or confusing, and it must be fixed in 8.0.x first.

Hi cilefen, I'm not getting what exactly needs to be fixed for this for this issue in D8, can you please mention in detail.

Thanks

The same text appears in Drupal 8 in core/modules/user/config/install/user.mail.yml. The backport policy dictates this must be fixed in Drupal 8 before Drupal 7.

Thanks cilefen for the details.

Here is the D8 patch please review/test.

Note that what is in patches is different from the exact intent of the issue, which is:

Replace "copying and pasting it into" with "copying it into"

I happen to disagree with it a bit. I think the patches are better and we should be renaming "copying and pasting it to" to "copying and pasting it into".

I have tagged this "Needs issue summary update", which a novice can handle.

This is one of those cases where git diff --word-diff=color is helpful for reviewing.

There isn't much to say - the instances have been replaced with the correct verbiage.

I think based on https://www.drupal.org/node/1527558 we shouldn't change this in a stable release. It's user-facing text, and we really want to avoid breaking translations for that unless we really really need to.

The text is slightly inconsistent, but I don't think there's anything actually wrong with it as is, right?

Feel free to reopen for Drupal 7 if I'm missing something.
