Hi all,

Some translators asked me in private to submit the following suggestion, =
as=20
I'm subscribed to this list.

Could you in the English team decide once for all the "Folder/Directory"=20
question? It would make translation process easier and end up an=20
unterminating debate inside translation teams.

Option A: use "directory" for filesystem issues and "folder" for the GUI=20
description

Option B: use "folder" everywhere

Personnally, I don't care much about the retained solution, as long as it=
's=20
consistent. For example, in French we have two words as well.=20
"Dossier/R=E9pertoire" are completly equivalent to the English ones, so w=
e can=20
mimic whatever you will choose. For languages with just one word for both=
=20
concepts it's of course a no-issue.

If Option B ("folder" everywhere) is retained, then it would be nice to d=
o=20
(read: "that Malcom does") a massive search&replace in applications and=20
documentation too to remove all remaining "directory"s.

Feel free to associate KDE developpers and other projects (Gnome, LDP) to=
 this=20
debate if you feel like.

Reactions? Comments? Flames?
