Where are mime-type acronyms used?

[F Wolff <friedel translate org za>]

Hallo everybody

When translating MIME-type information, there are different fields for
translation. The common ones seem to be  "comment", "acronym", and
"expanded acronym". The translation of the comment field is used for
example when viewing document properties in Nautilus, or if Nautilus is
displaying a folder in list view.

However, I don't know where the acronym or expanded-acronym fields are
used, and I'm wondering if it would affect what the ideal translation
is. Can somebody point to a place where this is used?  Maybe in KDE?

Keep well
Friedel
