That sounds like over-engineering to me. What is the use case of the applet? If it's only going to be used on desktops, what's the matter with leaving the HAL support on? If the applet is to be used in embedded systems, surely those systems would make mofidications to the applet to fit their usage, and could turn off HAL support. > > - Fix translation of scanning mode changes (modes weren't translated at > > all, and the string used could only be used in English) > > Fixed that and did a little rewording.
