Hi Adrian,

Example: mixed up usage of words "folder" and "directory" in kdesvn.po:

#. i18n: ectx: property (whatsThis), widget (QComboBox, m_DepthCombo)
#: src/ksvnwidgets/depthselector.ui:41
#, kde-format
msgid ""
"<p ><b>Kind of depth</b>: </p>\n"
"<p ><i>empty depth</i><br />\n"
"Just the named directory, no entries. Updates will not pull in any files \
or " "subdirectories not already present. </p>\n"
"<p><i>Files depth</i><br />Folder and its file children, but not subdirs. \
" "Updates will pull in any files not already present, but not \
subdirectories. " "</p>\n"
"<p><i>Immediate depth</i><br />Folder and its entries. Updates will pull \
in " "any files or subdirectories not already present; those subdirectories \
" "entries will have depth-empty. </p>\n"
"<p>\n"
"<i>Infinity depth</i><br />Updates will pull in any files or \
subdirectories " "not already present; those subdirectories' this_dir \
entries will have depth-" "infinity.<br />Equivalent to the pre-1.5 default \
update behavior. </p>"


I don't use Matrix, sorry. Should I report this as a new task at
https://phabricator.kde.org/project/view/312/ ?
