Package: xkeyboard-config
Severity: normal
Tags: l10n
Translations of xkeyboard-config will soon be used by Debian Installer,
which explains why I had a look at them, in that case with my "member of the
Debian French l10n team" hat.
xkeyboard-config includes many (maybe even all) country names, that are
already translated in the iso-codes software package
(http://pkg-isocodes.alioth.debian.org/) which is *not* a Debian-only
package, but also used by many upstream authors (GNOME mostly) for
translations of countries and languages names.
When comparing both French translations of xkeyboard-config (managed by
Marc Veillet and traduc.org) and those of iso-codes' ISO-3166 (managed by
me...but actually taken from the standard itself as French names for
countries are part of that standard), I found 4 differences:
#. #-#-#-#-# fr.po #-#-#-#-#
#. name for ETH, historic names for ETH (withdrawn 1993-07-16)
#: ../rules/base.xml.in.h:207 ../rules/evdev.xml.in.h:207
#, fuzzy
msgid "Ethiopia"
msgstr ""
"#-#-#-#-# fr.po #-#-#-#-#\n"
"Éthiopie\n"
"#-#-#-#-# fr.po (xkeyboard-config 1.5) #-#-#-#-#\n"
"Ethiopie"
Here, xkeyboard-config is missing the capital "E acute". And "my"
translation has a nasty "\n" which I'll remove immediately..:-)
#. #-#-#-#-# fr.po #-#-#-#-#
#. name for FRO
#: ../rules/base.xml.in.h:216 ../rules/evdev.xml.in.h:216
#, fuzzy
msgid "Faroe Islands"
msgstr ""
"#-#-#-#-# fr.po #-#-#-#-#\n"
"Feroë, Îles\n"
"#-#-#-#-# fr.po (xkeyboard-config 1.5) #-#-#-#-#\n"
"Îles Féroé"
Here, xkeyboard-config uses the "natural" translation that unfortunately
places "Feroë" in a weird place in alphabetical lists.
#. #-#-#-#-# fr.po #-#-#-#-#
#. name for KOR
#: ../rules/base.xml.in.h:336 ../rules/evdev.xml.in.h:336
#, fuzzy
msgid "Korea, Republic of"
msgstr ""
"#-#-#-#-# fr.po #-#-#-#-#\n"
"Corée, République de\n"
"#-#-#-#-# fr.po (xkeyboard-config 1.5) #-#-#-#-#\n"
"République de Corée"
Same here...."Corée, République de" would be better placed in alphabetical
lists
#. #-#-#-#-# fr.po #-#-#-#-#
#. name for MNE, official_name for MNE
#: ../rules/base.xml.in.h:450 ../rules/evdev.xml.in.h:450
#, fuzzy
msgid "Montenegro"
msgstr ""
"#-#-#-#-# fr.po #-#-#-#-#\n"
"Monténégro\n"
"#-#-#-#-# fr.po (xkeyboard-config 1.5) #-#-#-#-#\n"
"Serbie-et-Monténégro"
That one is more worrying and potential source of strong political
arguments..:-)
I attach a patch with suggested changes.

Description:

Closes: 513557 514409 514975 529479 530585
Changes:
xkeyboard-config (1.6-1) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Add Breaks on old libx11-6. It seems some people are keeping very, very
old libx11-6 versions, which didn't know about some keysyms we're now
using, thus making their keyboard unusable (closes: #530585, #514975).
* New upstream release
+ adds Crimean Tatar layouts (closes: #513557)
+ French translation updated (closes: #529479)
+ fixes handling of compat layouts (closes: #514409)
* Patches sclk_toggle.diff and unhide_lv3_enter_switch.diff are upstream.
* Add README.source, bump Standards-Version to 3.8.1.
