The following from kdelibs.po

msgid ""
"_: Dear Translator! Translate this string to the string 'LTR' in left-to-"
"right languages (as english) or to 'RTL' in right-to-left languages 
(such as "
"Hebrew and Arabic) to get proper widget layout."
msgstr ""


#: kernel/qapplication.cpp:2554
msgid ""
"_: QT_LAYOUT_DIRECTION\n"
"Translate this string to the string 'LTR' in left-to-right languages or 
to "
"'RTL' in right-to-left languages (such as Hebrew and Arabic) to get 
proper "
"widget layout."

"An English-only, or even an English-mainly, policy necessarily condemns
most people, and thus the country as a whole, to a permanent state of
mediocrity, since people are unable to be spontaneous, creative and
self-confident if they cannot use their first language"
