In the title Bar, when the application is launched in French, it appears as: "Page d'accueil - Découvrir" I expect that the name of the application is not translated. It should stay "Discover". The same is in the launcher in menu. The entry is only "Découvrir". Découvrir what? The name of the application has to stay inchanged, as a trademark. Papoteur
Personally I'm not sure what's the best way to proceed, up to the translation team I guess.
Simply "Découvrir" may look confusing. Maybe the problem exists in English too, but I am not a native English speaker. In the title bar, I would see: Page d'accueil - Logithèque I'd argue that "Découvrir" may look confusing to users. or, if this is not acceptable: Page d'accueil - Logithèque Découvrir. - or - Page d'accueil - Logithèque Discover. But this feels like mixing languages. or: Page d'accueil - Logithèque KDE Which may even look better or: Page d'accueil - Logithèque Plasma Actually, my suggestions apply to the English version as well, where Logithèque would be "Software Center" or something like that. Users may not care that much about the actual name of the app. And Discover may feel a bit unfortunate, I'm not always using the software center to discover software, I'm using it to update and install things I already know. I'd also argue that Discover may sound like a good name in English, but not really "Découvrir" in French. This may be a matter of experience. (I would also argue that Google Play is a terrible name for an App Store, and Discover looks great in comparison. But Google Play is universally well known across Android users, which may not be the case for Discover across KDE users).
I guess what the original reporter meant was that using your simile "Google Play" isn't being translated to "Google Jouer" or so, not that "Découvrir" isn't explicit enough.
I understood that too. :-)
(In reply to Aleix Pol from comment #3) > I guess what the original reporter meant was that using your simile "Google > Play" isn't being translated to "Google Jouer" Exactly, this is an example that I would find. My Android Phone displays me an application which is "Google Play" even if the phone is configured in French. The choice of using only "Discover" in title bar or in launcher is also a topic, but this is another one I don't want to open here. Papoteur
Hello and thanks for your report, I have amended the translation to Discover https://phabricator.kde.org/R883:1517159 Regards
Thanks Simon. :)
