Thanks for the report; all translation issues for GNU make (as well as other GNU utilities) should be addressed to the GNU translation team in question; for French it's [EMAIL PROTECTED] See the ABOUT-NLS file in the GNU make source directory for full details. I'll CC them on this message.
Hi, [Please retain the CC to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that the Debian Bug Tracking system can record your input] The french translation of this application translates 'free software' into 'logiciel gratuit' instead of 'logiciel libre'. Here's a patch to fix this. Please forward it upstream as well. This is a serious issue since it confuses GNU's philosophy. The french FSF web site (http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/philosophy.fr.html) says "libre software": "A propos du logiciel libre" --- i18n/fr.po.orig Thu Jul 26 20:33:41 2001 +++ i18n/fr.po Thu Jul 26 20:34:00 2001 @@ -697,7 +697,7 @@ msgstr "" ", par Richard Stallman et Roland McGrath.\n" "%sCopyright © 1988, 89, 90, 91, 92, 93, 94, 95 Free Software Foundation, Inc.\n" -"%sCeci est un logiciel gratuit ; voir le source pour les conditions de copie.\n" +"%sCeci est un logiciel libre; voir le source pour les conditions de copie.\n" "%sIl n'y a PAS de garantie ; tant pour une utilisation COMMERCIALE que pour\n" "%sRÉPONDRE À UN BESOIN PARTICULIER.\n" "\n" manoj -- Long were the days of pain I have spent within its walls, and long were the nights of aloneness; and who can depart from his pain and his aloneness without regret?
