Dear Debian KDE people: Since I had some free time, I decided to download and translate Kaboom into Hebrew. I have noticed some issues, although I am not sure where all of them come from. If these should be reported as bugs (and especially if they go against certain packages or need certain tags/severties), please let me know and I can do that also.
1) Kaboom only checks LC_ALL, not LANG or LC_MESSAGES. Since I don't see LC_ALL because I need a mixture of locales, it defaults to C. It would be nice if it checked those variables also. Is a qt4 bug? 2) Even if I set LC_ALL to he, the interface is completely oriented LTR instead of RTL. I have to manually insert RLE's into the translation strings in order to get them display properly, and they're still left justified and with radio buttons on the wrong side for a RTL language like Hebrew. Again, is this a qt4 bug? 3) In the radio button on the choice page, the nbsp are showing up as literal instead of an actual non-breaking space. This does not happen, say, with the label a little higher on the page which shows what the current KDE3 and KDE4 directories are, in which the nbsp is rendered correctly. 4) Speaking of the label on the choice page, there is a translation string of "%1%2", which after hunting through the source code I figured out that %1 is "The current KDE 3 directory is %1" and %2 is "The current KDE 4 directory is %2". Two points: %1%2 is a very difficult string to translate; you should provide a translation hint in the source code that shows up in linguist so that translators know what to do. Also, does the order of the two strings really matter? Why not just have two separate strings? 5) I've noticed a few places where the English strings are a little rough.
