Note: I'm making this topic in lieu of a person on the LM IRC (in #linuxmint-chat).

In the latest version of mintMenu, there a logical translation error (German language) in some Menu Preferences:

Tab; Options
The Option is labeld 'Opacity' and in German "Tranzpüarenz". This is Wrong, cause Tranzparenz means "lucent". This should be changed to "Deckkraft" or "Sichtbarkeit"

TAB: Places
In German the Checkboxes are labeled 'Verstecke die Standard-Plätze' (Icon Transparency), but semantically and logically correct have to be: 'Standard-Plätze anzeigen'.

TAB: System
In German the Checkboxes are labeled 'Verstecke die Standard-Icons' (Icon Transparency), but semantically and logically correct have to be: 'Standard-Icons anzeigen'.

It's unlikely that I'll be able to get ahold of the person who forwarded this message in IRC, so I probably won't be able to answer any German-specific questions. However, I will answer any questions I can.

EDITED: the rewritten, more clear and accurate version by the person who found the error

File a bug report on Launchpad so that the developers are made aware of it and can correct it in the next version: https://bugs.launchpad.net/linuxmint
