Hi,

There is a small problem with file templates. Only one string is used
for both menu item name and default file name.

For example:
#: apps/lib/konq/Templates/linkProgram.desktop:2
msgctxt "Name"
msgid "Link to Application..."

Firstly, you can see this string in the menu when you click File->New
in Dolphin. But when you click on the menu item to create a link to
application, Dolphin creates file "Link to Application.desktop" where
the file name is taken from the same string.


The problem arises when you want to translate the menu items as
File->Create->[something] and write [something] in _accusative_ case:
the menu item name should be different from the default file name.


So, how hard would it be to "split" the strings? Will this change
break compatibility with other software?
