I noticed this package hitting Testing and thought I'd better point
out the obvious typo: "dance teather" should be either "tHeatER" or
"tHeatRE".  Here's a full debian-l10n-english-style review:

# Description: Vision mixer
               vision
#  FreeJ is a digital instrument for realtime video manipulation used in
#  the fields of dance teather, veejaying, medical visualisation and TV.
                       theater                           ization
#  FreeJ  lets  you interact  with  multiple  layers  of video (images,
         ×     ×             ×     ×         ×       ×
#  movies,  live  cameras, particle  generators,  text scrollers, flash
           ×     ×                  ×            ×
#  animations and  more), filter  them with effect  chains and  then mix
                  ×              ×                 ×           ×
#  together. It can be operated live from a text console and scripted in
 ^them (missing direct object)
#  Javascript to be controlled by keyboard, midi, OSC and joysticks.

The spellings "theater" and "visualization" are en_USified, as per
standard debian-l10n-english policy; but the error comes from the
upstream blurb, which is en_GB.  I attach both versions of the patch
so you can send a correction upstream without implying that there's
anything wrong with that choice of standard.
