I'm currently building up a list of words that need to be made consistent, so 
far I've come across these:

Application names! eg KMidi KSpread

Sidebar         (Side Panel?)
single click
double click
preset
restart
menubar
toolbar
scrollbar
formula bar
file size
whitespace
uppercase
task manager
real-time
anti-aliasing
grayscale
high scores
CPU
RAM
POP
MIME
FTP
DPI
bpp or BPP?

e-mail => email / Email
folder => directory
can't / can not => cannot

I think it would be best to wait till the next release as it will hit the 
translation stats quite heavily.

Regards,
Malcolm
