Bug Description

Binary package hint: ksysguard-kde4

When selecting "Properties" after right clicking a sensor display You get a window labelled "SOMETHING Settings" or "SOMETHING Preferences" (depending on type of display)
The menu and all windows should be the same either "Preferences" or "Settings" or "Options".
If the menu item's caption is changed from "Options" to one of the others, the "What's this" help should be updated as well

As additional information I'd like to add that this does not only affect the dialogs generic name, but overall naming:
* type: Line Graph => properties name: Signal Plotter Settings
* type: Bar Graph => properties name: BarGraph Preferences

Know this is minor, but it looks unprofessional in an otherwise very professional and useful tool

Hello evlev,

Indeed it looks unprofessional, and indeed it is minor, so I am marking this bug with a low importance. Please note that we should forward this report to http://bugs.kde.org since this best gets resolved in KDE itself, rather than Kubuntu. If you should have time to do that, it would be greatly appreciated (usually it takes a lot of time until a team member gets to it :)). In case you should forward the report, please paste it's URL here, so we can link the two reports.

In any case thank you very much for this report to help us improve Kubuntu and KDE :)

We unfortunately currently do not have the manpower to make these sort of changes. The Kubuntu translation prescence (or lack thereof) makes getting modified strings translated a mostly-impossible feat. This would be best handled upstream.
