[Kbabel] Re: New datatool for kbabel

[Stanislav Visnovsky]

Hi!

Thanks a lot for the patch!

I'm just wondering how to present this validator to users. The name in the 
desktop file looks too long for me and also its hard to use by not advanced 
user.

What about this:
Making it a bit generic class and then create a number of different datatools 
from it. Your one is like validation for a given language. In principle your 
code can form a basis for other datatools, even the ones that already exist.

Stano
