Helping with Translating KDE to Indonesian

[Josep M. Ferrer]

Hi,

It's worth investing some time searching for a good translation style 
guide in your language from a reputable institution (university, 
translation school, etc.), and following that guide in a reasonable way. 
So, your translations will be consistent between them and with other 
translation teams.

Best regards,

Josep M. Ferrer
