Description Troy Harvey 2025-11-09 23:11:04 UTC
SUMMARY
I stumbled on this and was told it was a bug that should be reported. Hopefully this is the correct place.

https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/blob/master/login-sessions/plasmawayland.desktop.cmake?ref_type=heads#L35

Name[ko]=Plasma(Wayland) is the only translation that does not have a space between DE name and session type. It should be Name[ko]=Plasma (Wayland)

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Look at translation for ko

OBSERVED RESULT
Inconsistent naming.

EXPECTED RESULT
Consistent naming.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: 
KDE Plasma Version: 6.5.2
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.19.0
Qt Version: 6.9.3

This is actually correct in context of Korean writing, as Korean writing convention do not use a spacing before opening parenthesis. See also https://www.korean.go.kr/front/mcfaq/mcfaqView.do?mn_id=217&mcfaq_seq=8881&pageIndex=1 To maintain consistency with other writings I usually remove spacing before parenthesis in Korean context, even if the text does not contain Hangeul.

Thank you for the explanation. I do not know anything about Korean I was just told it was a bug and to report, as that does not appear to be the case feel free to close.

Seems like it is a cosmetic issue rather than something broken by translation, I will close it. Also there is another string for Plasma development version in the same context, which in fact includes Hangeul and consistent within Korean language context regarding spacing.
