G'day all again. :)

So the contact address for the package from which each .po file is extracted (see the elegant syntax :) ) is:

? If so, good system, and a great help to translators. I'm so used to developers ignoring the Report-Msgid-Bugs-To header, that I didn't even notice it was there (oops).
This is not exactly a bug report, this is why I proceed this way.
I wasn't sure where I should send it...
Daniel, Clytie, is the currently hardworking Vietnamese translator and
it seems that she's currently fighting with the huge aptitude PO file...:-)
It will be interesting to see who wins. :)
1. This string:
src/cmdline/cmdline_action.cc:92 "%s is already installed at the requested version (%s)\n"
"at" is not used in this context: do we mean "with" or "as"?
It always sounded strange to me. As Daniel Burrows, who maintains aptitude, is IIRC a native ENglish speaker, I think he'll be able to give a precise answer. I would bet for "with".
I also. I did translate it that way.
2. This string:
src/cmdline/cmdline_prompt.cc:732 "Do you want to continue? [Y/n/?] "
I've translated "Yes" and "No" separately in this file, but I haven't yet seen a translation for Y and n. Does this mean I should not translate this to the equivalent in my language? [C/k]
I'm not good at reading code.
Neither am I. :(
I usually assume that, in such situation, the software is localized as well and uses gettext stuff, hence allowing you to translate this as well.
I'm not sure that's a safe assumption: at least, it wouldn't be with non-Debian software... :)
It's so dicey dealing with this sort of thing: you don't know if you're making things easier or harder by translating something that may turn out to be literal.
Reading the relevant code does not make this obvious for me. Daniel?
In the french translation, this has NOT been translated.
