[Bug 1740848] [NEW] Bad polish translation: actions and activities are translated to the same word

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

Gunnar Hjalmarsson (gunnarhj) has assigned this bug to you for kwin in Ubuntu:

In Polish KDE translation, both activities (= subject-oriented virtual
desktops) and actions (= varioius window-related actions) are translated
using the same word „działania”. This is very confusing.

For example, after right-clicking window title I get window menu with
the following contents

    Przenieś na ekran >
    Działania         >
    Minimalizuj
    Maksymalizuj
    Więcej działań    >
    Zamknij

2nd and 5th positions mean the same (Więcej = More in Polish) and after
3 years of facing it I still must click both to ensure which leads to
Activities menu and which to extra window actions.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Suggested fix: as translating „activities” to „działania” seems
established, I would not change it (albeit personally I'd probably
prefer naming this „subjects" in English and „tematy” in Polish).

Instead, I suggest changing translation of „More actions” from „Więcej
działań” to one of:

- just „Więcej…”  (= „More…”)

- „Więcej czynności”  
   (in fact IMHO „czynność” would be better than „działanie” even without the problem,
    the words are mostly synonyms but I'd usually consider „czynność” to be sth small
    and fast, and „działanie” to be sth big and long-lasting)
