Yes but these messages are extracted from src/kalzium.kcfg, not from settings_colors.ui, settings_gradients.ui and unitsettingsdialog.cpp, so these message don't appear in the settings dialog.
Possible fix would be to copy the strings from kalzium.kcfg to the three files, that would not break message freeze.

That is not only the wrong font size, but in addition the wrong text "The settings for the molecular concentration calculator" for the three tabs Nuclear Calculator, Mass Calculator, Gas Calculator.

The repeated text seems to be because the TabWidget has a tooltip that covers all the tabs and not each tab separately. My patch changes the entry to something a bit more generic that will cover the entire block of tabs

I think adding whatsThis when it's the same as toolTip is redundant. Otherwise, the toolTip should be a short text shown on hover, and whatsThis a longer text, only shown when you click for help.
