Package: dpkg Version: 1.13.22 Severity: wishlist Tags: l10n, patch Attached you'll find the translated po file for the german version of the man page for dpkg.
The following addendum should be inserted (please check if I got the syntax
right, I constructed this by reading the po4a(7) manual and did not try this
out):

While translating, I noticed the following possible improvements for the man
page:
-msgid "To list packages related to the editor vi:"
+msgid "To list packages related to the editor vi(1):"
-"options. The action-parameter tells dpkg what to do and options control the "
+"options. The action-parameter tells B<dpkg> what to do and options control
the "
-"B<dpkg> can be also be used as a front-end to B<dpkg-deb>. The following "
+"B<dpkg> can be also be used as a front-end to B<dpkg-deb>(1). The following "
-"B<flags>. These values are intended to be changed mainly with B<dselect>."
+"B<flags>. The state information is intended to be changed mainly with
B<dselect>."
-"contributed to B<dpkg> .\n"
+"contributed to B<dpkg>.\n"
Debian policy distinguishes between configuration files and conffiles. In the
man page, however, the following is written:
"configuration files. This may avoid having to reconfigure the package if it "
"is reinstalled later. (Configuration files are the files listed in the "
"I<debian/conffiles> control file). B<-P> or B<--purge> removes everything, "
Is this correct? I think conffiles are meant here? Maybe check the entire man
page for other occurences of this (missing) difference.
-msgid "B<dpkg-deb-actions>"
+msgid "B<dpkg-deb actions>"
-msgid "B<dpkg-query-actions>"
+msgid "B<dpkg-query actions>"
-"Set debugging on. I<octal> is formed by bitwise-orring desired values "
+"Switch debugging on. I<octal> is formed by bitwise-orring desired values "
-msgid "B<all>: Turns on(or off) all force options."
+msgid "B<all>: Turns on (or off) all force options."
-"installed. This is an alias of B<--refuse-downgrade.>"
+"installed. This is an alias of B<--refuse-downgrade>."
-"directory passed to B<chroot>(2) before running I<package>'s installation "
+"directory passed to B<chroot>(2) before running package's installation "
I think this is a typo, else please explain "qstate":
-"E<lt>pkg qstateE<gt>'. Errors are reported as `status: E<lt>pkgE<gt>: "
+"E<lt>pkg stateE<gt>'. Errors are reported as `status: E<lt>pkgE<gt>: "
-"error: extend-error-message'. Configuration file conflicts are reported as "
+"error: extend-error-message'. Conffile conflicts are reported as "
-"useredited distedited'"
+"useredited distedited'."
-"conffile changes where I<E<lt>decision> is either install or keep."
+"conffile changes where I<E<lt>decision<gt>> is either install or keep."
-msgid "The program B<dpkg> will execute when starting a new shell."
+msgid "The program B<dpkg> will execute while starting a new shell."
-msgid "To see the entries in I</var/lib/dpkg/available> on two packages:"
+msgid "To see the entries in I</var/lib/dpkg/available> of two packages:"
Well, I don't know the current CD layout, but is it sensible to still cite
hamm?
" B<cd /cdrom/hamm/hamm/binary/editors>\n"
I started with late potato, so it definitly predates my Debian experience
;-)
Sometimes dpkg is written in plain text, sometimes in bold (i.e. B<dpkg>). Is
there a "hidden" scheme behind this? Otherwise this should be unified.
I am in the process of translating the remaining man pages for dpkg as well,
but I cannot give you a time frame. When recognizing identical or very similar
strings in several man pages, I translate them in one batch, hence all man
pages are now partially translated (but mostly short strings or untranslateble
lines).
The current state as I see it is:
dpkg-query.1 59 Strings, 41 untranslated (69 %)
install-info.8 70 Strings, 48 untranslated (68 %)
dpkg-deb.1 79 Strings, 59 untranslated (74 %)
dpkg-split.1 82 Strings, 52 untranslated (63 %)
dpkg-architecture.1 117 Strings, 68 untranslated (58 %)
dselect.1 129 Strings, 97 untranslated (75 %)
dpkg-source.1 214 Strings, 152 untranslated (71 %)
Also you might want to include the partial files already. In this case,
contact me and I'll provide them to you. In case you change a template during
an upload I will incorporate these changes *if* I am aware of them, i.e. if
there is an easy way for me to know about this change.
Greetings
Helge
