Version: (using KDE 4.3.2) Installed from: Ubuntu Packages Konversation uses the verb "to take" in the sense of removing/revoking some right from someone in a channel. The verbs used in the current French translation have completely different meaning (sometimes "recevoir", meaning "to receive", or "octroyer", meaning "to give"). In one translation it is translated as "prendre" which is correct but unclear/ambiguous (like the English verb "take" actually - maybe "remove/revoke" would be better but that isn't the topic of this bug report) One correct and unambiguous French translation would be "retirer". (The relevant strings can be found by searching for "take", e.g. https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/karmic/+source/konversation/+pots/konversation/fr/+translate?search=take ) (It is not clear to me if suggesting strings on launchpad reaches the right people, hence this bug report)
The link you refer to in launchpad has 3 pages with 25 sentences with "take". Are they all incorrect? Can you note down the ones that are and what your suggestion is please? Thanks in advance!

Thank you Anne-Marie. "retirer" is a good choice. Note the extra "re" in the following translation: msgid "%1 takes channel admin privileges from %2." msgstr "%1 reretire à %2 les privilèges d'administrateur du canal."
