Description m.wege 2010-01-25 11:45:13 UTC

Version:           Unbekannt (using 4.3.95 (KDE 4.3.95 (KDE 4.4 RC2)), Kubuntu packages)
Compiler:          cc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.31-18-generic

The new Kaddressbook has the feature of email distribution lists. I do not know how the english version shows it, but in German it is translated as "Gruppe". As far as I can see it, there is no further purpose of these groups. In that case the German translation is missleading. I would suggest to translate it as "Verteiler" or (if there is enough space) "Email-Verteiler".

Hmm, in English they are called "Group" and I understand them more like a Group of Contacts.

(I cannot check further now because that feature just disabled itself after pressing "Cancel" in the dialog :/)

Are there any more opinions?

Currently it is only used for email distribution, but we want to keep the 
option
open to use it for other things as well, e.g. lists for mailmerge in kword 
etc.

Ciao,

I'll close this as WONTFIX because the translation cannot be changed in a sane way with these upcoming changes.

Anyway, thanks for the report. Feedback is always appreciated.
