The issue, if you care, is this: New_X is actually the name of an object in Kst, and is used for string comparisons to determine if it should be replaced. Therefore it can't be translated. However, it also has special meaning to the user, and in that sense it should be translated. The best solution is to keep an internal and external (display-only) representation of these special cases, but we can't make this sort of change until after 1.0.0. Sorry that it puts a bit of a "scar" on the translation effort, but it's the best we can do for now. -- George Staikos KDE Developer http://www.kde.org/ Staikos Computing Services Inc. http://www.staikos.net/
