HN in this case being...?
As with a lot of the more cryptic errors, this one is generated in
circumstances that shouldn't occur: it means that your hostname is more than
255 characters long.
I've encountered this situation before. If a string is very seldom used, developers see it as less important, because they have all the context necessary to make such a judgement. If we have no developer comments to supply such context, each and every string has equal priority. This can result in us spending a lot of time and effort on strings which may never been seen by the user.
This is why developer comments to translators are such a good idea, and very much appreciated by us. :)
Unlikely, as we're breaking new ground here in Vietnamese computing localization. A nice thought, though... I dream of current and varying glossaries, such as other languages have, and more than three active translators world-wide.
I'd also like to check the size of the column headers (cc:353, 353, 357, 359, 361):
Imp, Req, Std, Opt, Xtr
which I've translated in extremely abbreviated fashion as:
Imperative, Required, Suggested, Optional and Extra
Those are the Debian package priorities: Important, Required, Standard,
Optional, and Extra. dselect uses the same abbreviations, so you might be
able to lift a translation from it.
