That is my fault, as Christian Perrier wished some time ago that we rework the synopsis thingy so that a translator doesn't need to translate the complete synopsis with all it's complicated xml tags and words which shouldn't be translated. That was just to fragile to work with. So as i had to update a few synopsis's for 0.9 anyway i finally did that. On the downsize this makes all synopsis translations currently non-existent. Translators end up needing to translate something like (2 examples): >>>>> #. type: Plain text #: apt.ent:226 msgid "" "<!-- TRANSLATOR: used as in apt-get install pkg e.g. apt-get install awesome " "--> <!ENTITY synopsis-pkg \"pkg\">" msgstr "" #. type: Plain text #: apt.ent:229 msgid "" "<!-- TRANSLATOR: used as in pkg=pkg_version_number e.g. apt=0.8.15 --> <!" "ENTITY synopsis-pkg-ver-number \"pkg_version_number\">" msgstr "" <<<<< now. The words are used to build the various synopsis's with the added benefit that you have to translate it only once and have it consistently in every manpage (which was a problem for the original english one, too). Still includes xml, but at least way less. > Maintainers: It would be great if apt could be updated before Wheezy > with the complete German translation (i.e. SYNOPSIS and the remaining > currently untranslated man page parts). Sure. I wanted to fix a few more things and ask properly for translation updates, but somehow there is always one more rc bug to fix first… :/ I hope i get these fixes done this weekend as we slowly run out of time.
