I'm not sure. Hmm, using KDE localized for German myself I can't really agree with this. Do you have an example of something not being translated properly? Do by any chance run something Ubuntu based and using their language packages? > BTW, who actually does the coding for KDE 4?

I don't think there is any significant number of developers currently being paid to work on KDE. IIRC Aaron Seigo is, David Faure is 50%, some of the people working on Calligra Office are. The Kontact Touch project was done as a contract work for a German covernmental entity, but that has been delivered and there are currently no follow-up contracts as far as I know. Canonical might have somebody working on KDE stuff as well. > Gnome works fine, but I did not use much of it. Networkmanager is a > pain, and I had a hard time setting up WLAN.

Mostly using WPA though, had to experiment a bit when doing WPA-PSK, but work also from UI (i.e. no file editing required).
