reassign 673294 apt-doc forcemerge 673294 673410 tag 673294 - patch thanks (strange, why hasn't the bts send me the mail for the other bugreport…)
Anyway, as i promised, it is Monday and while Michael is preparing the upload of 0.9.4 I can already talk about the included changes for the (german) manpage translation in it: + 22 new fuzzy + 6 untranslated - >200 "translated" messages Getable e.g. from (as the file is still only a few kilobytes away from being 0.5 mb): http://anonscm.debian.org/loggerhead/apt/debian-sid/download/head:/de.po-20091028211003-epml2wigg73eh9cq-1/de.po (The remove entry might look strange, but by telling po4a that not everything in these manpages is really something which can be translated - like commands or options - the amount of strings really dropped by more than 200 msgstr which in the best case were previously copy&paste from the msgid and in the worst case accidentally translated. For some things po4a should really have a saner default… - and i should have had a look earlier before assuming that the defaults are what i have expected… sorry) It would be cool if you could have a look at these changes again before i am annoying other translators with an update-round. "In exchange" while reading through the manpages, i noticed some unfitting translations in the apt.conf manpage which should be corrected: - "Names for the configuration items are optional" != "Namen für die Konfigurationsdatei sind optional" (no file!) - "allows an arbitrary configuration directive" != "die es einer beliebigen Installationsdirektiven erlaubt" (no installation!) - "Archive specific settings can and should be used by appending the label of the archive to the option name" != "Archivspezifische Einstellungen können und sollten durch Anhängen des Archivetiketts an die Option »name« vorgenommen werden" (the option has a name, it has not the name 'name') - "It is probably preferred to turn off the pkgcache rather than the srcpkgcache" != "Es ist vermutlich vorzuziehen, statt des »pkgcache«s den »srcpkgcache« auszuschalten" (the translation is the inverse) - "As seen in the last default value these patterns can use regular expression syntax" != "Wie bei den letzten Vorgabwerten gesehen, kann die Syntax für reguläre Ausdrücke verwandt werden." (singluar vs. plural) Last not least an easy one: translation-holder string should be updated to reflect the years passed by in the meantime. (there properly is some cool way to automate this a bit more, i just haven't found it yet.) Thanks already & best regards David Kalnischkies P.S.: I will not argue about if half-sentences should start upper- or lowercase, but the translation should be consistent in itself and currently many (if not all) "old" strings are starting with an uppercase letter. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
