Since Dolphin is a rather new application and will be the default file
manager for KDE4, I contacted its maintainer, Peter Penz, to have all i18n
messages in Dolphin code retrofitted with KUIT markers and markup. This was
to be a field-test of KUIT, using an unsuspecting guinea-programmer :)

Only that Peter turned out not to be so unsuspecting. Not only that he
equipped every message with a context marker, but also, without any
suggestion on my part, he added a free-form context to great many messages,
thus making all possibly ambiguous strings fully clear. I can *see* the GUI
looking at Dolphin's PO. Furthermore, in almost every case Peter used
exactly the context marker I would use myself, alleviating my fear that the
chosen marker lineup was confusing. Thus, in my opinion, the field-testing
passed with flying colors.

Looking through the l10n-kde4, I see that many translators have already been
exposed to new Dolphin strings. Since the KUIT retrofit is now complete, I
nevertheless invite everyone to update Dolphin's translation (in kdebase/)
and report here any thoughts.

Soon thereafter, Tom can add KUIT as a prerequisite for kdereview; these are
the requirements which new apps going into central or extragear modules
should fulfill. At first I considered this Tom's suggestion a bit too harsh,
but having Peter said he didn't feel KUIT to be much of a burden, now I
cannot but agree :)
