FWIW, I saw a discussion in the Catalan translation team where they were
discussing about how to translate "Qt Addon", the meaning is not obvious.

I've just read an article on <a href="http://pro-linux.de" \

It seems that the use of "Qt Addon" without any more detailed explanation \
has<br> lead to it being translated as "Plugin for Qt". Which in this \
context is<br> unfortunately not correct.<br>
<br>
Basically the misconception was that KDE Libs is a collection of libraries<br>
while KDE Frameworks 5 is a collection of plugins for Qt.<br>
<br>
KF5 is still a collection of libraries, i.e. developers need to explicitly<br>
decide to use them, they are build time dependencies, etc,<br>
<br>
Plugins, on the other hand, usually refer to things that developers do not use<br>
directly, but which are available at runtime and are loaded by Qt when needed.<br>
<br>
I am not sure how to best approach this, i.e. whether we can add a definition<br>
of Qt Addon to those articles without breaking the flow of them or if we just<br>
"send patches" to article authors that get it wrong until better \
translations<br> have established themselves.<br>
<br>
Any thoughts?<br>
