 Sorry, kann ich nicht nachvollziehen. Gemeint ist doch wohl eine URL, also  eine Adresse. Sowas mit "Ort" wiederzugeben, versteht doch kein Mensch, falls  er nicht das Original im Hinterkopf hat. Die normale

(For the CCs: This bug report is about the correct translation of the string 
"location" in the printer module of KControl. The report refers to the CUPS 
manual where we are told that "location" means the physical spot where the 
printing machine actually is. The German translation, however, speaks of an 
"address" which would be easily interpreted as "URL".)

The main problem I see with changing the translation for the term "location" 
is the fact that it is taken from a central file (kdelibs.po) and is used in 
a lot of different places, namely:

#: kabc/resourcefileconfig.cpp:47 kdeprint/kprintdialog.cpp:105
#: kdeprint/management/kminfopage.cpp:46
#: kdeprint/management/kmpropgeneral.cpp:40 kdeprint/management/kmwname.cpp:42
#: kio/kfile/kpropertiesdialog.cpp:823 kio/kfile/kurlrequesterdlg.cpp:47

This means: If I change the translation the new one will show up in _all_ 
these places. But I don't think that _all_ of these occurrences use 
"location" in the same meaning of "physical spot where the machine actually 
is". Some of them probably use "location" in a sense of "URL/URI". Until this 
nest of double meanings is somehow sorted out I'm afraid it will be best to 
leave the German translation the way it is.

Maybe one of the CCed persons finds a better solution.

Ah, now I understand why this bug is especially troublesome to resolve.   
   
How about using:   
   
QString  KLocale::translate ( const char *index, const char *fallback)   
   
It is exactly for the case this bug is about: [cite documentation]   
"The real contents of the string is in the argument fallback, but the meaning   
of it is coded into the argument index. In some cases you'll need this   
function, when english is too ambiguous to express it."   
   
However, this is not in the translators' realm, the developer has to use the   
relevant translation function.

Proposed patch for fixing i18n issue in cups printer dialog

This fixes the index string to be "Phys. Location" allowing a better
translation of "Location:"

This sounds OK for me (actually, this is the only solution I can think of).
Thomas, is this OK to commit?

I'd rather wait until 3.1 is tagged (yesterday was the last day for 
translation commits) and have it committed to HEAD and 3_1_BRANCH afterwards 
(that way the fix will be in 3.1.1 and onwards).

Thanks,

Thomas
