Description urwald 2009-07-30 14:40:17 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.2.98)

In KAboutData, there is no way to set and display the web addresses for translators. (A translator has requested me to show its web address instead of its email address in the dialog, but I can't) The function setTranslator() accepts only "name" and "emailAddress".

possible solution: overload setTranslator() with a version that accepts also web addresses and adapt translators().
Comment 1 Christoph Feck 2009-07-30 15:08:53 UTC 
What you pass to "setTranslator" is (as documented), only a dummy text. The translation of this text can contain anything, even web addresses.
Comment 2 Christoph Feck 2009-07-30 15:18:31 UTC 
Sorry, ignore my comment. The code actually parses the translated texts, and splits them into a list of name/email pairs. I will see what I can do.

Hi,

kdelibs (version 4 and earlier) is no longer maintained since a few years.

KDE Frameworks 5 or 6 might already have implemented this wish.

If not, please re-open against the matching framework if feasible or against the application that shows the issue.

We then can still dispatch it to the right Bugzilla product or component.

Greetings
Christoph Cullmann
