Yes, for now Carlos' patch is only about changing "to-do" => "task" in all 
i18n'd strings in the code (dialogs, what's this, tooltips etc.).

Of course, sooner or later the help and the other documentation would also 
need to be adjusted to replace to-do => task and sub-to-do => subtask.

I simply wanted to ask the translators of the applications if its okay if we 
change lots of i18n'ed strings and if that would mean a lot of extra effort 
for the application translators.
kde-i18n-doc seemed like the only list where I could really reach translators 
(sorry, but for an "outsider" it's quite confusing what all the *i18n* and 
*doc* mailing lists are for). Is kde-doc-english for translators? We already 
asked them if they thought if task was better than to-do and they agreeded...

Actually, I doubt that the translation would be different. The changes are 
merely replacing one english word by a more common and better-sounding 
synonym in the english version. It's just that I don't want all translators 
to have a lot of extra work due to this change. Thus my question if the i18n 
tools are smart enough to keep the translation if the original string 
changes.
