Description kathi.wilding 2005-08-23 09:25:40 UTC 
Version:           2.2 (using KDE 3.3.0, SuSE)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.4 (pre 3.3.5 20040809)
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.8-24.17-default

In the German version, one patience game is called "Zigeuner", which is a racistic word. "Roma und Sinti" would be corrct, but maybe you can think of an other name at all. Would be awesome if you could change this in the next version. Thx!

for one, http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zigeuner disagrees with you. While it's seen by some as Schimpfword, it's not by everyone. But that doesn't matter here at all as it's a name for an historic patience game and not a people.
