Eh, eh! Great. I'll be at the aKademy, if the other translator teams want to 
have a word with me.

Yes, it's not really an easy problem to solve. You may simply update the 
description to match the default graphics. 

If rich text is allowed in the game, one frame from the hero animation may 
be shown in line with the text.

For the manual, it may be a bit easier, the default graphics will suffice.

What would be great would be to have some sort of "attract" mode for the 
game, like on old style arcade machines, showing the gameplay with an 
animation. But I can wait for KDE 4.1 forthat ;)
