German Translation of the About/Credit popup
Hi, first of all i love lyx. Thank you for this piece of heaven of software. But in the german translation under the About/Credit popup there is a section Ruhm und Ehre I would request to change this title. This title was the slogan of the SS during german fascism and i regard it as a bad joke to use it. Sure it was unintentional so please just change it.

Quite a few of the remaining 34.000 are about a 2004 high court ruling that using the slogan is not illegal. So I don't think this is a big deal. Having said that I would certainly not object to change it if one of the developers listed there complains. But it will be difficult to create a German translation of anything without using any words that have also been in use at that time... Andre'

Re: German Translation of the About/Credit popup
I never said that it is a banned or unique phrase but if you but it in google 8 out of 10 hits (and the first ones) have to do with the SS and Nazis. It would be easily replaceable with Dank or Danksagung or Unser Dank gilt: or something. istvan istvanst wrote: Hi, first of all i love lyx. Thank you for this piece of heaven of software.
