Description Anno V. Heimburg 2004-04-09 18:37:00 UTC

Version:           4.2.1 (using KDE KDE 3.2.1)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.2 20031218 (Gentoo Linux 3.3.2-r5, propolice-3.3-7)
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.4.25-gentoo

There's a translation bug in kwrite's regexp editor - bug #76727. Briefly, the problem is that in the regexp editor, you can edit ranges, e.g. "From A to Z". The "to" has been mistranslated, see attachment for screenshot.

Now, the German translators can't correct this as the English word "to" maps to several German words, depending on context, for example the "to" in "Mail to Philipp" would be "an", the "to" in "in order to" would be "zu", and the "to" in this case - "From A to Z" - would be "bis".

So, my request here is that translation hints that give context information be added to the I18N macros in the code to enable the translators to translate it correctly.

Cheers,
Anno.
