I completely agree to remove 'Mozilla' from the translation as there was never a direct relation between Mozilla and a web browser (and because now we have a much better one :D ). But I don't think we need to change the translation 'Web-Browser'. Yes, it isn't a German word but there is also no German word which could describe it in a sane way. So, I'd suggest to remove Mozilla and keep 'Web-Browser'. > #: ../modules/menu/menu-data/xfce4-terminal.desktop.in.h:1 > msgid "Terminal" > msgstr "Terminal" > > That one irritates me a bit - before looking into the file I > thought it was referring to the program "Terminal", but it's a > preference, so it should say "Konsole", shouldn't it? I don't think so, 'Konsole' would be even worse as it reminds more to KDE's konsole. I'd say 'Terminal' is fine as it is the name of the general application type 'terminal emulation' and it fits the name of Xfce's default terminal emultion application 'Terminal'. So, I'd say changing it would cause even more confusion. > I hope it's okay to leave editing the file to whoever can do it, since > it's quite a minimal thing. If not, I can make a patch. Attached is a patch which fixes the 'Mozilla' problem as mentioned above and also translates the missing fuzzy and untranslated strings. The patch also fixes some missing menu accelerators.
