Version: (using KDE 4.0.5)
Installed from: Ubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Many of the words in the upper levels of the auto-generated English lessons are not real words, are misspelled, or are incomplete words. Often they look like German.
Examples:
salesladie
latencie
se
distinctivel
syllabicatin
amazo
fizze
pygm
summariz
metaphysicall
psychoanalyticall
heavyse
fraye
mestizo
yashmak
yukk
hygromete
glamoriziatio
synthesi
The expected behaviour is that actual words are used for spelling
practice.

Er, I meant to say "typing practice" but oops. The point is, practicing
mistyping words just makes it habit, which is the opposite of the point.

Also, this bug is in both KTouch for KDE4 and the older KDE 3.5.9

Not sure what to do about it, the file should be all redone but I am not
qualified to do so.

I see a similar issue in the Czech dictionary, where some of the words
are German. Also, some of the words are Czech dirty words (eg. prdele
and proser).

In addition a lot of inappropriate words are included for an educational
product: Words such as ASS, JACKASS, SCANDAL, CATCALL, ENEMA, CRACKHEAD,
HORNY, SATANICAL. Some are misspelled, but it is obvious both by sound
and the large quantity of inappropriate words.

If I remove the English file there will be no English training anymore which makes the program useless for English.
Isn't there a replacement or a patch for it instead? Same for Czech?

The same applies for the Norwegian file. My 9 year old son started
complaining about the incomplete words in lesson 4 or 5, I think. Like
others have mentioned, both because of the incomplete and the
inappropriate words (both in terms of content and relevance), I somewhat
regret having enthusiastically recommended Ktouch to his primary school.
Also, it makes the windows-based applications look so much better, since
they make you type real words that are more relevant and fun for pupils
at a primary school.
Now, since editing the training .xml-files is pretty easy, I'll simply
go through and modify it by hand before submitting a patch. :)

Thanks Jarl! You can attach the new file in this bugreport or send it to

which have problem, thanks. annma

BTW: The Danish training file seems really good with regards to use in
schools or by students.
Not only does it cover punctuation and upper-case letters but it has
some interesting facts-based lessons where you can learn about topics
like the ice-age and practice speed-typing at the same time. I'll
consider translating the whole thing to Norwegian.
