In the settings on the first page (section "user interface" (German: "Benutzeroberfläche"), tab "folders and subwindows" (German: "Ordner & Unterfenster")), the first setting relates to the behaviour of dolphin at startup ("Beim Start anzeigen", "show at startup"). In German, the first option says: "Ordner, Unterfenster und Fensterzustand vom letzten Start", which means "folders, subwindows and window status from last start". In other words: Dolphin starts as it has started the last time. But I am sure that is not what is intended, because then Dolphin would always start with only one window, no tab, showing the home folder (that is how it started the very first time, and every time after that, as long as this setting is enabled - and doing what is said there in the German translation). However, I am sure this option is there in order to retain open tabs and folders as they were when dolphin was running last before it was closed. In German, it would then be correct to say "letzten Zustand wieder herstellen" or similar, in English it would probably be somthing like "restore last status". I am pretty sure that it was like that in previous versions, and the current misguiding translation has come up only recently, but I may be wrong with that. Since this is not a technical, but a translation issue, I don't post technical information here (like system, OS version etc.)
Moving this to be assigned to the i18n folks, thanks!

Would you be satisfied with this solution then? "Show on startup:" "Folders, tabs, and window state from last time" „Beim Start anzeigen:“ „Ordner, Unterfenster und Fensterzustand vom letzten Mal“ https://imgur.com/a/jaD6xGx
