Yes I'm aware of that. To be honest I'm a little bit ashamed not even to
have reviewd this, now that so many people spend time translating them.

Yes I know, and I was even aware of this when I wrote that term.

Nah. Settings could easily be explained in a more user friendly and less
precise way.  But in my understanding the brush settings are almost part of
the source code.  The brush engine was designed to be easy to change, and as
a developer I find it quite helpful when they hint at the implementation.

I realize that this is not a very friendly point of view, since they are
visible in the user interface and some users do want to create own brushes. 

So maybe we could split the descriptions in two parts - a simplifying
description for users first, and a more technical, non-translatable
description (including the cname) clearly separated below?

Still, this is at the bottom of my priority list atm (patches welcome). 
Users seem to find their way around by trial and error, and there is even an
instant preview available.
