Description Philipp Kiemle 2023-02-28 08:48:32 UTC 
SUMMARY
When updating only a part of the available updates, the button in the top right corner (to start the update process) displays the wrong string. 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have multiple updates available
2. Deselect one of the updates

OBSERVED RESULT
Above mentioned string changes to "Aktualisierung ausgewählt", which *does indeed* translate to "Update selected" (I guess this is the original string), but in this case is a false friend. It should be "Ausgewählte aktualisiseren" or similar in my opinion.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS

Linux/KDE Plasma: Kubuntu 22.10 with Backports PPA
KDE Plasma Version: 5.26.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.102.0
Qt Version: 5.15.6
Comment 1 Frederik Schwarzer 2023-02-28 22:16:43 UTC 
Fixed. Thanks for the report. :)

Although, I think the original string could use some context stating that "update" is the verb and "selected" the noun.
Comment 2 Nate Graham 2023-02-28 22:36:27 UTC 
Fair. I can do that.

Improve translation context for short "Update [thing]" strings

The original English text of "Update Selected" in particular is
inherently grammatically ambiguous and can be interpreted in various
ways (e.g. as "An update is selected", rather than "Update the selected
things") without adequate context.
