[i18n] [Bug 320222] [translation] [German] root folder should not be translated into Wurzelordner

--- Comment #6 from Frederik Schwarzer <schwarzer at kde.org> ---
Addendum for those who are confused now.

Usually translations are fetched from the translation catalogues when the
application (or library) ist started. Changes to the translation file are then
recognised kind of instantaneously.

In some places in KDE, however, translations are only read once from the
translation catalogue when the application (or library) is started for the
first time (or some other action (like saving something) is taken) and then
written in a configuration file inside the user's home folder (~.kde/share/*).

This 2nd class of translations will never receive any of the updates we (as in
translators) provide. This is a known problem in KDE but not all developers fix
it unfortunately.

Since I created such a one-time translation in KShisen years ago when I rewrote
part of it, I will better not start throwing rocks here. :D
The libraries sometimes make it very hard to avoid such things. :(

Again, if you want to change the string, you have to log out of KDE completely
and change it in ~/.kde/share/apps/kfileplaces/bookmarks.xml

Sorry for the inconvenience.
