Thanks Roberto.  Committed with a small modification so I'm going to use this 
as an opportunity to hang a reminder onto the list:

When translating, the translators often get text out of context, and in 
general translate very literally.  Bear that in mind when writing about 
*where* on the screen things are, since Right is not always Right, when the 
app is running in a Right-To-Left language.

Up/Down and Top/Bottom are pretty safe, I don't think we have any languages 
that read Bottom-to-Top, but try to avoid saying something is "on the right".

(We really should avoid talking about Left and Right mouse button clicks, to 
accomodate left handed users, but that becomes darn near impossible with so 
many apps overloading them so much.  Do try though.)

As for the KCalc update, it'll be on docs.kde.org within a day or two, and 
searchable by Saturday, Rainer tells me.

Regards,
