Description Shriramana Sharma 2006-01-12 10:00:20 UTC
Version:           1.2.0 (using KDE 3.5.0 Level "a" , SUSE 10.0 UNSUPPORTED)
Compiler:          Target: i586-suse-linux
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.13-15-smp

Solar System > Planets Coordinates ::
Ascention -> Ascension

Coordinate Converters > LSR Velocity ::
cero -> zero
ascention -> ascension

Coordinate Converters (description panel on RHS) ::
LRS velocity -> LSR velocity

Coordinate Converters > Ecliptic Coordinates ::
Ecl. longitude -> Longitude
Ecl. latitude -> Latitude
(this is not a typo, but goes with the theme. Since galactic lat and lon are written as just lat and lon without prefix, same is enough for ecliptic coords too)

Coordinate Converters ::
Equatorial/Galactic (left pane) -> Galactic
(by analogy with "ecliptic coordinates" and "horizontal coordinates")

Also, is there any need for a separate Apparent Coordinates from Precession? I think the latter can be merged into the former but with the name of the latter.

Time Calculators (tree on LHS) ::
Day Duration -> "Sunrise etc." (more descriptive)

Time Calculators (description panel on RHS) ::
Section which includes algorithms for computing time ephemeris -> Section where various astronomically significant times are calculated

Solar System && Earth Coordinates ::
Coords -> Coordinates (as displayed on the LHS)

"Coordinate Converters" -> Astronomical Coordinates
(otherwise you'll have to merge the "Earth Coordinates" into this tree)

P.S: I wish there was a way I could do all this stuff directly to the KDE code. That way people who knew how to do the programming would be freed up for it. I can't help much with programming so at least I can do this, time to time.

By the way:

This is certainly possible.  You can obtain a copy of the codebase by following the instructions here:

http://edu.kde.org/kstars/svn.php

For strings changes, you don't even need to compile the code, just locate the string that needs to be changed (most GUI strings will be in a *.ui file; these files describe the layout of various windows) and change it.  Once you are done with changes, use the command:

svn diff file_you_changed > file_you_changed.patch

Then you can attach file_you_changed.patch to your bug report or mailing list post.

Thanks agian for the feedback...
