Description Karl Ove Hufthammer 2009-06-15 16:22:48 UTC 
Version:           0.8.3 (using 4.2.3 (KDE 4.2.3), 4.2.3-2.fc10 Fedora)
Compiler:          gcc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.27.24-170.2.68.fc10.i686

The ‘File → Properties’ dialogue wrongly uses a localised number specifier for the ‘Format’ field. The version number is formatted as number, but should be formatted as a string.

E.g., in Norwegian, the field is shown as ‘PDF v. 1,7‘ instead of ‘PDF v. 1.7‘ (a comma instead of a period).

And really, the field should say ‘PDF 1.7‘, as PDF doesn’t use a ‘v.’ or ‘version’ prefix in its version names.

The field is called "Format", so the value is "PDF v[ersion] 1.x"; don't see anything wrong with it.
