            Bug ID: 466972
           Summary: Difficulty translating kmymoney.cpp i18n string "save
                    storage"
    Classification: Applications
           Product: kmymoney
           Version: git (master)
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: kmymoney-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: okellogg at users.sourceforge.net
  Target Milestone: ---

On git master kmymoney/kmymoney.cpp class KMyMoneyApp functions slotFileSave
and slotFileSaveAs,
there are the i18n strings

    "Failed to save your storage."
    "Couldn't find suitable plugin to save your storage."
    "Couldn't find any plugin for saving storage."

I find this hard to translate.
Translating it literally (to Esperanto) gives

    "Malsukcesis konservi vian konservejon."
    "Ne eblis trovi [...]programon por konservi vian konservejon."
    "Ne eblis trovi [...]programon por konservi konservejon."

The duplication "to save" (konservi) and "storage" (konservejo) looks strange.
What is meant by "storage"?
Could it be thought of as "data"?

Please either change the term "storage" to something clearer, or (if that is
not adequate) provide i18n context for easier translation.
Many thanks.
