resend because I am not sure if routed properly....


I have read this in the KDE i18n howto: (Maybe you need to consider adding it 
to the translation how-to doc)

"Think of a file manager, where you can open a context menu on a file and 
select View to view the file. In this context View is a verb. Additionally 
the window of the file manager has a menu View in the menubar. In this 
context View is a noun."

I think with things like these stated clearly in a standard document, we will 
save ourselves the time of discussing whether View should be translated to
عرض أو أعرض
I know this may lead to a long discussion but before you flame me, I remember 
a thread I followed before in one of the linux mailing lists which discusses 
the pronunciation of the letter 'i' in the word 'linux'. When I thought the 
thread is practically finished when one gave them a recording of how Linus 
himself pronounced it, the thread began discussing why Americans need to 
follow Linus' pronunciation. He said they are Americans and they used to 
pronounce it as in 'Lion'!!! (No politics here also ;))
