Hi,

These strings are from the new color profiles package. Personally, I do not think they can be separated into docs in the common sense. The notes were copied from the original work by Elle Stone. The only way to make them easier to translate is to shorten them (just my 2 cents).

The message is cc-ed to calligra-devel for further consideration.

Best regards,
Yuri
