Subject: Reducing Work for Translators
X-MARC-Message: https://marc.info/?l=kde-devel&m=106653315710078

Hi,

I'm stabalising all the strings in my app so it is ready for translation and 
want to make the amount of work for translators as little as possible. I have 
some strings in my app that are identical to Konqueror strings, as well as 
being the same context (I've cloned the location bar). 

Should I insertCatalogue( "konqueror" ), and if I do so will this prevent 
these strings from being extracted for translation?

Also do strings like i18n( "back" ) get substituted automatically (since this 
string must have been translated somewhere!), or do all strings get extracted 
for translation? I ask because I've gone to some pains to use KStdActions 
when I don't really want to; I've done this to save translators some work.

Many thanks,

Max
