The problem is that if the translator does nt know about the developement of amarok is \
difficult to understand what is the meaning and even more if the translator takes a  \
dictionnary the meaning will be distorted in most times.

As i saw in the other languages, i think only the italian is the right

#: main.cpp:55
msgid "Release Vixen (Nightrose)"
msgstr "La donna dei rilasci (Nightrose)" 


Because is translated as "donna". I think is right because if i translate the vixen in greek, \
nobody will understand what it says

So, i think a little comment is needed.
