Next KGeoTag release

Hi all,

I'm planning to make a new KGeoTag release soonish.

Some core functionality strings have been changed (hopefully, they can be 
translated better and more unambiguously now), but above all, I added the 
possibility to select the way coordinates are displayed (either as decimal 
degrees, degrees and decimal minutes or degrees, minutes and decimal seconds). 

Some changes in the class formatting the coordinates were of course necessary, 
and this currently seems to lead to some problems: In the po files, one now 
finds entries like this (looking at the German version here):

    #: src/CoordinatesFormatter.cpp:40
    #, fuzzy, kde-format
    #| msgctxt "Formatted longitude with a cardinal direction"
    #| msgid "%1° %2"
    msgctxt "Formatted coordinates as degrees and decimal minutes"
    msgid "%1° %2'"
    msgstr "%1° %2"

or even worse:

    #: src/CoordinatesFormatter.cpp:52
    #, fuzzy, kde-format
    #| msgctxt "Formatted longitude with a cardinal direction"
    #| msgid "%1° %2"
    msgctxt "Formatted coordinates as degrees, minutes and decimal seconds"
    msgid "%1° %2' %3\""
    msgstr "%1° %2"

If those "translated" strings would be used, the displayed values will be 
messed up. I don't know if those "fuzzy" translations will be stripped out 
when I do a release, so I thought I'd ask here. I'd gladly wait with the 
release until this is fixed.

At this point big thanks and kudos again to all you diligent translator that 
make all our software better and more accessible to everybody :-)

Cheers, Tobias
