Yeah... it's kind a horrible sound, with it ending in x and all.

Exactly! Wind or Ветер sounds better. "Вздох" sounds terrible, it translates back to English as "sigh". You see, these words are about the same but the meaning differs. "Бриз" is cool, yet I think it originates from the word "Breate".

P.S. Giant Speck and alex.rayu, I'm very impressed with your Russian language skills...

I think Бриз is just a cognate of the English word breeze, seeing as though they are pronounced the exact same way.

I think alex.rayu is a native Russian speaker. Я просто американец, который изучал русский язык для его правительства.

"Bries" for NL is wrong, for it translates "breeze", not "breathe", i'd say that it's:
Name[nl]= Adem
Comment[nl]= Adem Pictogrammenthema

Should I translate the word "Breathe" or keep it in english? The translation in brazilian portuguese does not look very nice.

As it's a title, no need. Only the descriptions.

Most of the svg files are still somewhat broken in 0.51 which I downloaded from gnome-look.org. They all show text fragments inside the icon area, behind the icon in the upper left corner. I haven't looked at them using Gnome, only using KDE.

BTW: I would prefer to keep the name "Breathe" as theme name despite of the language. It's a name and names shouldn't be translated. Your distribution is called "Ubuntu" in all languages too.
