german button labels too long
by suse on Saturday 12/May/2007, @04:52

i never use any button labels in toolbars. the labels are always too long !
like in Kmail: "Vorherige Ungelesene Nachricht" , "Filter als nicht Spam klassifizieren" and so on. it belongs the whole KDE TOOLBARS, you can find too long labels everywhere. It doesn't even make any difference, if you place the labels beside or below the Symbol in the toolbars. THEY ARE JUST TOO LONG.
Translating rules should follow usability as well.

It would be also nice and very useful, if the custom toolbars in Kicker can optional show a personal label.
Example:
- "show desktop Applet" is placed on the kicker. but the icon is very small.
Adding a label (an applet label, or better custom toolbar that called "Show Desktop" beside the icon

A matter of translation quality. the translations you quote are horrible.
