Thank you!
I was so confused as to what this was all about. No offense to anyone.
I really do understand about language barriers. I speak 4 languages
and since a head injure 15 years ago took down the barriers keeping
these languages in check. I have to work hard to keep from starting a
sentence in English and ending it in Gaelic.
However, none of the affects my ability to understand language so all
of this confused me. I didn't know what was being disagreed about.
I agree, it would be illogical to remove koffice or rename familiar apps.

the mail cited
by tim,
While we are on that topic I should mention that I consider many of the
original "suggestions" in the message I forwarded to be nits, if not just
plain ridiculous. I forwarded the message to this list to make sure that
I was not alone, and to see what people's thoughts on the matter were.
To clear up some things:
* koffice cannot be built in pieces, but there is no reason to drop it at
this time. It will stay in the TDE distribution tarball for the
forseeable future, and *may* even pick up some enhancements along the way
if ioslaves from Calligra can be backported to TQt easily enough.
* The extent of the renaming for the 3.5.13 release would be core
libraries and non-user-visible strings. This would be done only to make
downstream packaging easier (i.e. rename libkdecore.so to libtdecore.so,
etc.). User visible strings / application names will probably never
change, except the KDE->TDE string replacement that has already occurred.
