Title:
  Bad polish translation: actions and activities are translated to the
  same word

Status in Ubuntu Translations:
  New
Status in kwin package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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)
