Re: What about a latin translation ?

File Manager should be translatable. The Romans must have had papyrus files, and would be required to manage them. I guess you would take the Italian word for Internet.

The "Italian word for Internet" is...
...Internet!

I'm one of the KDE Italian translators. I can tell you that Italian computer language is very similar to English - lots of words go untranslated.
Only IBM OS/2 and - to a lesser extent - Apple tried to translate technical jargon into Italian.
In fact, using Italian OS/2 is quite funny....

On the other hand Latin translates much more words than Italian. They even have words for "television", "telephone" and so on...

Speaking about "strange" languages: you can try KDE in Esperanto. The Esperanto team is one of the best translator teams.

First of all, Download QuickLAtin...it helps

Second of all, "Internet" IS ALREADY a latin word...it means "Web connection". an "Interstate" highway connects states, and an "Internet" connects servers, or nets (networks). That's all the internet is...a string of different servers, and the "Web" or "net" or "internet" is literally the wires connecting those networks.
