I also noticed likely a bug where the new file text "This file will be x size" (See attachment1) wasn't translated but seemed to be there in the translation file (See attachment2)
Great start. The translations looked good. I submitted the file to version control (https://websvn.kde.org/?revision=1706750&view=revision), with minor fixes. The fixes were about two things:
1. When you translate messages, you should remove their fuzzy status. Fuzzy messages are not used in the application and this is also the reason why the text "This file will be x size" showed up in English in Krita. "Fuzzy" is a bit interesting term but basically it usually means that the translation is outdated and needs to be updated before it can be used again. I highly recommend to use Lokalize or some other specialized editor for these translation files because they clearly show this status and also what has changed in the original message. Please see attached example. Depending on the editor, removing fuzzy status can mean marking the translation as "translated", "accepted" or "done".
2. English title case (every word starts with a capital letter) is not used in Finnish, also not in menus. From now on, please translate messages like "Snap Image Center" to "Kohdista kuvan keskusta" instead of "Kohdista Kuvan Keskusta".
This time I fixed these for you because it might be difficult to find those messages if one is not using diff tools specialized to PO files, for example poediff from pology (documentation poediff can be found at https://techbase.kde.org/Localization/Tools/Pology/PO_Embedded_Diffing and http://pology.nedohodnik.net/doc/user/en_US/ch-diffpatch.html).
PS: We can also talk in Finnish on this mailing list.
Thanks
Lasse
