           Summary: [translation] plasma notification on incoming messages
                    has dismiss button that says "Ignore", conflicting
                    meaning in an IM context
           Product: kopete
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kopete-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: zorael at gmail.com


Version:            (using KDE 4.3.4)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

The Kopete notification you receive on incoming messages has two buttons; View
or Ignore. This is on a system with an English language setting, obviously.

In an IM context, "Ignore" means putting the other part of the messaging
conversation on a block list. As a user, I was unsure if clicking Ignore would
stop Kopete from showing notifications from that user from that moment on, as
in "Ignore notifications of messages (from this user) forever".

To avoid this, I always viewed the messages and then minimized them, so I
wouldn't opt-out of ever getting the notifications again. Eventually I tried it
(after great deliberation), and found out it had more a dismiss functionality,
but to a new user it isn't obvious.

I would propose "dismiss" or "close", but "ignore" conflicts with the block
list kind of ignore (eg. IRC /ignore) and strikes me as confusing.
