Just ignore it as everybody else.This Kivio string is absolutely
non-standard for KDE apps. But several mails to the Kivio/Kompany folks
were to no avail so far. Shawn Gordon said they have no time to change
it. So I don't see a need to take the time for us.

The GPL becomes legally void when translated. Personally, I don't use
the available German translation because of that. Don't know, however,
what the doc people think about this (CCing to kde-docbook therefore).
