My point is, that it's dangerous to have verbs in such a prominent place, 'cause you don't know what it's translated in one of the 53 (?) languages, KDE supports. The whole KDE-menu has nounces as entries for that reason. > but then we can leave it at all: the string was added to make it visible, > that this part of the menu is dynamic. No, you don't need to leave it. The Usability-Report by relevantive critizised, that the two parts of the K-menu couldn't easily be distinguished and that some entries appeared double. It was not written, that the users didn't know, that the upper menu is dynamic. (Hey, they will see that it's dynamic early enough ;-) Good night, Ralph _______________________________________________ kde-usability mailing list kde-usability@mail.kde.org http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-usability
