Hi,

There are no general objections (although I have already done them for  =

Ukrainian with higher compression level).

Just want to notice kwave-record.png in English has old style decoration=
s.  =

;)

  Most of the teams do not even bother to take screenshots (some even do=
  =

not bother to generate docbooks for already translated docs ;) ) so you =
 =

can do what ever you want.

There is no other official way to communicate. :)

Best regards,
Yuri
