If I start Lokalize in German and then switch the application's language,
some strings stay German.
Plese refer to https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=47541 for an example.
The string there is "Texterfassung", which is German for "Widget text capture".

Reproducible: Always

Another case of the notorious OTT's (One Time Translation) spread all over kde.
Running trunk usually in locale x-test for testing purposes I have already a few hundred unchangeable strings with translation from x-test in $KDEHOME for just a few applications.
I guess starting all applications from the main kde modules there will be some thousands of OTT'S.

This string is taken from lokalize-scripts/scripts.rc, which is generated on the first start of lokalize using the actual locale.
To switch the language for that string you have to rm lokalize-scripts/scripts.rc and start lokalize in the desired locale.

Changing the application language now displays a dialog box that indicates that an application restart is required, so I guess we can close this as fixed.

Removing subscriber per abuse report we've received.
