Hi Dotan,
Thanks for your feedback on these applets. One of my main contributions in KDE
is that of proof-reading - I'm on the British English translation team, and one
of the main reasons it isn't done automatically is that it's 1% about putting
the u back into colour and 99% about proof-reading. Given there are many
non-native-English speakers working on KDE (for instance, there isn't a single
native English speaker on the the team that writes digiKam) it's a nice setup -
coders can code, and folk like me can smooth over the strings in a few seconds
what would take them a few hours otherwise, and provide a bit of feedback in
the process.
In terms of the extent of this widescale proof-reading, it's limited to what is
maintained the KDE SVN server. As such, any plasmoids you find in KDE itself
(including kdereview, kdeplasma-addons and playground/base/plasma) should have
been proof-read throughout, and of course if you find any problems with these,
please do report - either mail to the kde-i18n-doc mailing list, or fling it in
my general direction. In this case though, as Alexis has pointed out, they're
on kde-look, so I'd suggest you drop the author a line. To keep them sweet,
I'd suggest including a replacement description they can use, as a means of
providing constructive feedback, rather than destructive.
Best,
Andrew
