Some questions:

     d->refreshAlbumAction = new KAction(KIcon("view-refresh"),
i18n("Refresh"), this);
     d->refreshAlbumAction->setShortcut(Qt::Key_F5);
-    d->refreshAlbumAction->setWhatsThis(i18n("Refresh all album contents."));
+    d->refreshAlbumAction->setWhatsThis(i18n("Refresh the contents of all
albums."));
     connect(d->refreshAlbumAction, SIGNAL(triggered()), d->view,
SLOT(slotAlbumRefresh()));
     actionCollection()->addAction("album_refresh", d->refreshAlbumAction);


I guess this is wrong, since the refresh action is not working on all albums,
only on the current one.





-    d->zoomTo100percents = new KAction(KIcon("zoom-original"), i18n("Zoom to
1:1"), this);
+    d->zoomTo100percents = new KAction(KIcon("zoom-original"), i18n("Zoom to
Full"), this);
     d->zoomTo100percents->setShortcut(Qt::ALT+Qt::CTRL+Qt::Key_0);       //
NOTE: Photoshop 7 use ALT+CTRL+0
     connect(d->zoomTo100percents, SIGNAL(triggered()), d->view,
SLOT(slotZoomTo100Percents()));
     actionCollection()->addAction("album_zoomto100percents",
d->zoomTo100percents);


I think we should keep it the way it is, this is a common term (or we could use
"actual size" like in gwenview.




-    d->libsInfoAction = new KAction(KIcon("help-about"), i18n("Components
info"), this);
+    d->libsInfoAction = new KAction(KIcon("help-about"), i18n("Component
info"), this);
     connect(d->libsInfoAction, SIGNAL(triggered()), this,
SLOT(slotComponentsInfo()));
     actionCollection()->addAction("help_librariesinfo", d->libsInfoAction);


Isn't there a plural for components? This dialog shows information for all used
components, not only one.




-    d->cameraSolidMenu->menuAction()->setText(i18n("Digital Cameras"));
+    d->cameraSolidMenu->menuAction()->setText(i18n("Cameras
(Auto-detected)"));
     d->cameraSolidMenu->menuAction()->setIcon(KIcon("camera-photo"));
     d->usbMediaMenu->menuAction()->setText(i18n("USB Storage Devices"));
    
d->usbMediaMenu->menuAction()->setIcon(KIcon("drive-removable-media-usb"));
     d->cardReaderMenu->menuAction()->setText(i18n("Card Readers"));
    
d->cardReaderMenu->menuAction()->setIcon(KIcon("media-flash-smart-media"));
-    d->manuallyAddedCamerasMenu->menuAction()->setText(i18n("Cameras Added
Manually"));
+    d->manuallyAddedCamerasMenu->menuAction()->setText(i18n("Cameras (Add)"));
    
d->manuallyAddedCamerasMenu->menuAction()->setIcon(KIcon("preferences-other"));


The first one is ok I think (not yet merged though in my branch), but the
second might be wrong. This menu entry will list all manually added cameras,
now it sounds like you can only add cameras here (which can of course, but it
sounds more like an action now).




                 driveType = i18n("SD / MMC Card Reader");
                 break;
             case Solid::StorageDrive::Xd:
-                driveType = i18n("xD-Picture Card Reader");
+                driveType = i18n("xD Card Reader");
                 break;


The medium is called that way, but maybe a reading device is named differently?
I don't actually know (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XD-Picture_Card)




-    QString msg = i18n("Image finger-prints computation can take a while.\n"
-                       "What do you want to do?\n"
-                       "- Scan for changed or non-recorded items in
database\n"
-                       "- Rebuild all fingerprints (long)");
+    QString msg = i18n("The initial image fingerprinting can take some
time.\n"
+                       "Which would you prefer?\n"
+                       "- Scan for changed or non-cataloged items in the
database (quick)\n"
+                       "- Rebuild all fingerprints (takes a long time)");


This dialog will appear not only on first digiKam start, but every time when
you hit "rebuild fingerprints". So I guess initial is a wrong term here?




Again, this sounds like a lot of criticism, but it's not meant that way :-)
I appreciate your work, but sometimes I'm not quite sure about some phrases.

Gilles,

what do you think?

Andi
