Bug#218570: autopartkit: Debconf templates polishing
Package: autopartkit
Severity: normal
Tags: patch d-i
(d-l10n-english folks, there's some work for you below..:-)....autopartkit
is a debian-installer module
Explanations follow:
-_Description: Select the device to partition (the install device)
- Choose the disk which has the free space required (column Free) to install
- Debian GNU/Linux. If there's not enough free space, space can be
- liberated by resizing the FAT partitions (column FreeFat indicates how much
- space will be freed by resizing the existing fat partitions).

Short desc--> follow my own "Debconf templates Style Guide" document...
Long desc : my English skills are too low, but I have the feeling this is
not perfect English....May someone have a look at this?

More compact question for helping translators..:-)
This will destroy the partition table on all disks in the machine.

Does it wipe out ALL hard disks or only one?

The "will not work" sounds a bit "spoken" language to me.
I also suggest to remove the "not elaborated enough"....just give facts-->we
cannot handle too complicated partition schemes.
If you want to continue the installation process, switch to the second
console (ALT+F2), partition the disk as you like using parted and the
- other tools available, and then mount all your partitions in /target.

+_Description: Automatically partition hard drives
Well, when the user chooses this option in main-menu, (s)he then gets a
warning. So, imho, the "unsafe" mention is a bit useless. Moreover, this
adds some pressure to translators for fitting their translations in the 58
characters limit main-menu has for choices.
