Description Dennis Schridde 2009-06-18 18:57:31 UTC 
Version:           2.1.1 (using KDE 4.2.90)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

The term "ReplayGain" was translated to german, i.e. in the settings menu as "Wiedergabeverstärkungs-Modus".
This is unnecessary, confusing and imo wrong, as "ReplayGain" is a defined name and not a usual word.

See for example http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/ReplayGain which says "ReplayGain [...] is a *standard*" [emphasis by me]. It is thus a name (or marketing term, as you like) and not a word and should be used in its original, "english" form.

I completely agree here. Please change this.
