Version: (using Devel) Installed from: Compiled sources In trunk and 4.2 the button tooltips + the "Welcome!" are untranslatable. The latter can be fixed in trunk and stable with this patch: $ svn diff kdemultimedia/kscd Index: kdemultimedia/kscd/Messages.sh =================================================================== --- kdemultimedia/kscd/Messages.sh (Revision 938049) +++ kdemultimedia/kscd/Messages.sh (Arbeitskopie) @@ -1,4 +1,4 @@ #! /bin/sh $EXTRACTRC `find . -name \*.ui` >> rc.cpp || exit 11 -$XGETTEXT *.cpp -o $podir/kscd.pot +$XGETTEXT *.cpp gui/*.cpp -o $podir/kscd.pot rm -f rc.cpp But this patch does not fix the untranslatable button tooltips like "stop", "play", "volume" etc.

Still tooltips are not translated! Same for action in Decive Notifier. See with pictures in https://qa.mandriva.com/show_bug.cgi?id=50345.
patch to make the tooltips translatable send to mailing list for comments/review: http://lists.kde.org/?l=kde-multimedia&m=124530747407745&w=2 device notifier is a different issue, the message is properly extracted from kscd-play-audiocd.desktop, so it should be translated. what do i have to do to check if the translation is really used at runtime?

Is it possible to backport changes to 4.2? Even if there is no more 4.2 subversions, distributions could more easily update their supported versions which use 4.2.
(In reply to comment #5) > Is it possible to backport changes to 4.2? shure, that's easy. but introducing 12 new strings on a deeply frozen branch? I will not do it without approval from kde-i18n-doc, so please ask there.
