Re: Bug#782112: French: "Release Info" translated to "Dernière version" in main page www.debian.org
Hello,
Someone already found this "bug" in #721687 (I saw you merged) and we
carefully ignored it...
To have some argument, I can say that "release" and "info" are singular,
so it is "1 information" on "1 release". Litterally, that could be
translated as "Information sur la version", which is very ugly.
The second point is we are very conservative and this string is here
since the origin of the translation of the web site ;-)
(http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/webwml/webwml/french/po/templates.fr.po?revision=1.1&view=markup)
And last but not least, the link points to a page who says :
Debian always has at least three releases in active maintenance:
stable, testing and unstable.
So it should be "ReleaseS infoS", as all past releases + the coming one
are listed.
But sometimes clarity is better than precision.
Could we just close this not-a-bug ? It takes me a lot of time to find
good words that can thanks for the help offered, but decline it as I am
(we are ?) happy with this string (and some others, I have now to answer
to #709685 ;-).
Baptiste
