Dear Maintainer,

the term used in the KDE Help Center (KDE-Hilfezentrum) is
"KAddressBook" ("Das Handbuch zu KAddressBook").

There is no "KAddressBook" in the "KDE application launcher"
("Anwendungsstarter", my translation, what this launcher is called in
the original is unknown to me).

However, there is an "Addressbuch" which becomes "KAddressBook" after
startup.

Maybe it has something to do with the infantilization of program
names, as GNOME has done, maybe it is a translation error into German?

Hej Olaf,

I think this is one of those "It's not a bug, it's a feature."

When you type a term into the search field in your application launcher,
I think it only searches the fields for your system language, highly
likely by design. I KAddressbook's example, the German translation lists
"Addresbuch" and therefore the app will show up in your launcher.
However, it will not show up when you type "kaddressbook" as this term
is not listed under German.

If you switched your system language to English, it would list the app
when you search for "kaddressbook", but not when you search for
"Adressbuch". And this is intentional as you wouldn't want tons of
results just because your search term matches something in French or
Swaheli, now would you ?

I'm inclined to close this bug as I don't think that this is a bug...
