           Summary: Konqueror, Connection failed error window: wrong
                    article for the word 'Firewall'
           Product: i18n
           Version: 4.4
          Platform: Debian testing
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: NOR
         Component: de
        AssignedTo: tr at erdfunkstelle.de
        ReportedBy: Warp_7 at gmx.de
                CC: kde-i18n-de at kde.org


Version:           4.4 (using KDE 4.4.4) 
OS:                Linux

When a connection attempt for a website timeouts, the error message, among
other things, reads:
„Ein Firewall (System zur Einschränkung von Internet-Anfragen), das […] Ihr […]
Netzwerk […] abschirmt […]“.

Though Microsoft started it with saying „Der Firewall“, probably because of the
masculine German word ‚Wall‘, I can think of no reason at all to use ‚das‘ as
article for firewall. The article in common German for Firewall is ‚die‘
anyway, for ‚die Mauer’. Please reconsider using that instead.

Reproducible: Didn't try
