In kig.po there are some recently added terms concerning Bézier curves. More<br>
precisely, "Quadric" and "Cubic" Bézier curves are mentioned. I think the word<br>
"Quadric" is an error and should be "Quadratic" instead, as you can see in<br>
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B%C3%A9zier_curve#Examination_of_cases" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B%C3%A9zier_curve#Examination_of_cases</a>.<br>
<br>
A "quadric" is a far more general mathematical object, namely an hypersurface<br>
defined as the loci of zeros of a quadratic polynomial. Nothing closely related<br>
to Bézier curves.<br>
