--- Comment #4 from Burkhard Lueck <***@hube-lueck.de> ---
Thanks for the screenshot, got it now.
But this seems to be not just a simple translation error:

In k3b the translation is in k3b/src/k3bemptydiscwaiter.cpp:
There are 3 dialogs KMessageBox::warningContinueCancel calls with argument
KStandardGuiItem::overwrite()

The catalog kdelibs4 has the correct translation:
kdelibs4.po-7130-#: kdeui/util/kstandardguiitem.cpp:306
kdelibs4.po:7131:msgid "&Overwrite"
kdelibs4.po-7132-msgstr "Ü&berschreiben"

But the same string is in the catalog kio4 as well:
kio4.po-5907-#: kio/renamedialog.cpp:153
kio4.po:5908:msgid "&Overwrite"
kio4.po-5909-msgstr "&Ersetzen"

Both msgids have no context

xgettext has the first-come-first-serve rule and the catalog kio4 is loaded
before the catalog kdelibs4, therefore the translation "&Ersetzen" is used in
k3b
klocale_kde.cpp:318:
m_catalogNames.append(KCatalogName(QString::fromLatin1("kio4")));
klocale_kde.cpp:319:
m_catalogNames.append(KCatalogName(QString::fromLatin1("kdelibs4")));

Possible solutions:

1) Change german translation in kio4 for the renamedialog to "Überschreiben",
but that has probably side effects, therefore cc'ing the german translations
list to discuss the change on list

2) Add context to one or both messages to allow different translations of
Overwrite in different contexts

No 2) is my preferred solution, because some languages need to distinguish the
translation of "Overwrite"

The german team discussed this issue in 2011 and changed this translation on
purpose, see
http://lists.kde.org/?t=132261355300002&r=1&w=2

So the solution no 1) is no option any more

I am not quite sure what to add to the discussion at this point. The 2011 one
seems still legit but the issue discussed back then is a different one than in
this report. So translation context seems like the only way to solve this.
