Bug Description

One of the Polish translators noticed me today that there is some strange translation in Ubuntu store. The problem is, we used in Polish same word for Science and education. Yes, I know it is my problem, but as I wanted to solve it, I checked which category contains which programs. Results? Check Yourself! As for me there is no sense in creating two categories for Science & education. Pi, Astros, (!?)OSM Touch(?!), greenpeace(?!) ecalculator and stuff like that should be moved to education (or other proper category- OSM T). You not agree? Yes, cause You created the store dear ladies and gentlemen. A normal user will not find what he/she is looking for! Only because someone decided to put greenpeace into science, a user will find it hard to find it into education category.

All in all the PROBLEM is, there difference between science and education is to small. I also find it hard to make it clear to Polish users where they should seach for a proper app.

SOLUTION:
I'm gonna correct the translation for our language as: "Education" and "Technology and Engineering". Technology and Engineering should contain stuff like Resistors, Carglass, Alfaromeo and VW as well as FreeCAD France, but not greenpeace! I think there are also better categories for an eCalculator and Pi should not stay into one category with VW, Realtai and Resistors. Sure they DO have something in common but the way developers think is not always the way the user do and the way the user will look for an app. As You see the difference is so small that You lost the right point of view Yourself.

Thanks for the report!
I'm moving it to the server component that handles the click store, where categories are defined.
