Hi there,

In think this goes beyond what the translators should decide, would you
please raise this issue on the KDE-Community list? kde-community@kde.org

I have no idea how much this would have an impact on our code in general,
as the master/slave terminology is quite widespread, but it would be a very
good thing to do.

Regards, Myriam
