In the file kwin/kwin._desktop_.po in the kf6 trunk there is now an entry "Window Manager Switching Layouts". Can you give me some guidance as to what this is supposed to mean? - Is the "Window Manager" switched? - Are there "Switching Layouts". I find it realy difficult to translate this. Cheers P.

These are custom visualizations for the Alt+Tab switcher that users can download. Here is the content that can be downloaded: https://store.kde.org/browse?cat=721&ord=latest I'd love to add translation context, but unfortunately the string is in a .desktop file and we can't add context there. So sorry!
Thank you. So kwin has "windows switchers" and they have them in different layouts. And "layout" wants to say something like "form". We will let this sink in a while. The word "layout" is not easy to translate...
The word "Layouts" is probably not the best word in the first place IMO. I think I'd re-do this string to say "Task Switcher Styles" or something like that. That would more closely match the wording in the page itself.

Git commit 4f03404fb3ebebf416f2af33f06a0b9b8c5eae65 by Ben Cooksley, on behalf of Nate Graham. Committed on 06/09/2024 at 14:00. Pushed by bcooksley into branch 'master'. kcms/tabbox: use better name for these in GHNS dialog Currently the GHNS dialog calls these "Window Manager Switching Layouts", which doesn't match the name of the KCM and can apparently be rather challenging to translate. "Task Switcher Styles" should be clearer and more consistent.
