I think Kuba and Erik indirect got a good point; names which are not only in 
english. This is how I look at it:

* Names for apps that are pronouceable in "all" languages and not impractical 
in some way should be considered. 

* The names doesn't have to make sense in all languages, there's _alot_ of 
apps who doesn't makes sense in a single language noatun anyone?:)). Besides 
, the excellent new menu system takes care of explaining what the apps 
actually does. ;-)

* KDE is international and in the spirit of open source, let's take the names 
to the same level. It's a nice geasture, by selecting names which makes sense 
in other languages than English. Perhaps it doesn't matter that much ("när 
det väl kommer till kritan" :)) at the bottom line but it really shows KDE's 
standpoint.

* Is there any argument to why names are preferred in English?


My two cents..
Frans
