SUMMARY

Bad french translation in color options

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have french translations, display KColorSchemeEditor

OBSERVED RESULT
The french translation for "Apply accent colors for active window titlebars" and "Apply accent color to inactive window titlebars" are bad.

EXPECTED RESULT
The french translation should be :
" Appliquer une couleur d'accentuation pour la barre de titre de la fenêtre active"
and
" Appliquer une couleur d'accentuation pour la barre de titre des fenêtres inactives"
respectively.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS

KDE Plasma Version: 
KDE Frameworks Version:

Thank you for the report, I used plural form on both translated sentences.

Why plural form for the first ? You can't have more than one active window, can you ?

It depends if the dialog is about the specific active window at the time or is a generality about all the active windows you can have. The English one also has the plural form so for the consitency I used the plural form.

Is there any other opinion from someone else from the French team?

@makosol: we can give it a few days and if no other opinion and you still confirm singular is better, I'll update it.

No news so I updated it to singular form for "fenêtre active"
