Version: 4.00.98 (using KDE 4.0.98) Installed from: Ubuntu Packages OS: Linux The german label of the Home-Button in Konqueror is wrong. Translated into german, this is »Persönlicher Ordner« (»home folder«), but »Startseite« (»home page«) would be correct. However, the tooltip »Zur ”Startseite“ wechseln« is properly translated.

This is a Konqueror bug, the l10n-team can't do anything about it :( Re-Assign it to the konqui-people.
The problem is, that the "Home" Button has a different meaning in file manager mode and web-browser mode. In the code konqueror uses the same string for this button and it behaves exactly the same, no matter if konqui is used as file manager or as web browser. This means, when konqueror is in file manager mode and i press the home button, it takes me to www.kde.org instead of $HOME. This is kinda funny and a problem for many language teams, because we can't translate this button properly.
Created attachment 27370 [details] switch Text+Tooltip+WhatsThis of Home action for filemanager + browser - removed comment about icon switch for webbrowsing + filemanager mode, this switch is already done properly - behind the existing icon switch code I added code to switch Text, ToolTip and setWhatsThis for m_paHome action in webbrowsing + filemanager mode in an similar manner than the icon switch - deleted the now unnecessary setToolTip, setWhatsThis in KonqMainWindow::initActions() - I used the terms "Home Folder" (local $HOME), this is hardcoded in filemanager mode; and "Home Page" from the settings page for the webbrowsing mode. - one strange issue still remains: in the settings there is a button, which opens a dialog to select a *local* folder for 'Home Page' in webbrowsing mode, this does not make any sense to me. with this patch it is possible to have proper translations for the two different meanings of this action
