Hi,

I get the impression that this problem hasn't been discussed on
translators' list. I don't think I agree with Thomas here because what's
the point in having options in the config dialog which cannot be used in
language of the document?

BTW. It seems we're supposed to write these XML files for own languages.

Regards,

Jacek Stolarczyk

Well, it doesn't do anything in a language where it is useless.  But you should
never remove/disable GUI widgets based on something the user will not understand
has a relation to the GUI widget. I believe they should stay visible which means
the current situation is OK.

It would be nice if the i18n people would start to look into ways and timepaths
to fill in the data needed for this in the relavant XMLs.
