Screen capture of the translation

SUMMARY
Whenever a USB drive is disconnected, a KDED message pops up and it reads "Un périphérique USB a été disparu." in the French translation.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Plug in a USB drive.
2. Disconnect the USB drive through Dolphin or through the panel bar.

OBSERVED RESULT
KDED message pops up and it reads "Un périphérique USB a été disparu."

EXPECTED RESULT
"Un périphérique USB a été déconnecté". "a été disparu" is grammatically incorrect and "disparu" means "lost" which is the wrong translation.

Comment 2 Frédéric Mesplède 2025-11-05 06:08:59 UTC
I wrote too fast. The bottom message in the same popup reads "débranché", so maybe for consistency it's better to use twice the same expression, either one is good. 
Thank you for your work.

Hello Frédéric.
Thanks for this remark on translation consistency. 
In fact, I fixed this point in the file plasma-workspace/kded_devicenotifications.po, a bit too quickly.
In fact, in this module, the choice was made to use "débranché" rather than "déconnecté". 
So, I modified my correction "Un périphérique USB a été déconnecté" by "Un périphérique USB a été débranché" to be consistent with the others strings related to device removal notifications.
File modified accordingly and commited.
Sorry for the inconvenience. Regards. Xavier
