Unfortunately there are still couple issues with the revised debconf templates.
I'm CC'ing this to debian-i18n and debian-l10n-english lists to inform people
about the possible template changes and to let them correct me if my advice is
not correct.
First thing I noticed was that all the non-ascii characters were replaced by
question marks (?) in the po file. This is probably due some accidental
character conversion at some point. Please be careful to retain the original
character set of each file.
The second issue concerns the new ldap-reqcert template which should have
translatable choices. This is achived by putting two underscores before the
Choices line. I would also split the last part to its own chapter. So, the
correct form would be:
Template: libnss-ldapd/ldap-reqcert
Type: select
__Choices: never, allow, try, demand
_Description: Check server SSL certificate?
When an encrypted connection is used, a server certificate can be requested
and checked. Please choose whether lookups should be configured to require
a certificate, and whether certificates should be checked for validity:
* never: no certificate will be requested or checked;
* allow: a certificate will be requested, but it is not
required or checked;
* try: a certificate will be requested and checked, but if no
certificate is provided it is ignored;
* demand: a certificate will be requested, required, and checked.
.
If certificate checking is enabled, at least one of the tls_cacertdir or
tls_cacertfile options must be put in /etc/nss-ldapd.conf.
I'm not sure whether the choices of the libnss-ldapd/nsswitch should be
translatable also, but I vaguely remember that this was discussed earlier and
that they shouldn't be. I copy them here below so that others can easily give
their opinion.
Template: libnss-ldapd/nsswitch
Type: multiselect
Choices: aliases, ethers, group, hosts, netgroup, networks, passwd, protocols,
rpc, services, shadow
_Description: Name services to configure:
For this package to work, you need to modify your /etc/nsswitch.conf to use
the ldap datasource.
.
You can select the services that should be enabled or disabled for LDAP
lookups. The new LDAP lookups will be added as last option. Be sure to review
these changes.
Regards,
Esko Arajärvi
