Bug#219189: cdrom-checker: Debconf templates polishing
Package: cdrom-checker
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
As usual, please consider all modifications as suggestions....this is part
of the general work on debconf templates "polishing" operation.
Rationale (native English speakers, PLEASE read and correct if needed):
Template: cdrom-checker/start
Type: boolean
Default: false
-_Description: CD-ROM integrity check
- Warning: this check depends on your hardware and may take some time. Are you
- sure that you want to continue?
+_Description: Check CD-ROM integrity?
+ Warning: this check depends on your hardware and may take some time.
Boolean template-->question on short description
Then avoid repeating the question in extended description. I see no real
need for insisting on "Are you sure"...

_Description: Insert a Debian CD-ROM

- ENTER to continue.

No reference to specific user action (moreover, depending on keyboard
models, the "Enter" key is labeled as such ...or not).

_Description: Failed to mount CD-ROM
The CD-ROM ${CDROM} could not be mounted correctly. Please check the media
and cables, and try it again.

Ditto.
Debian properly spelled

Short description : less jargon
Extended description : make a real sentence (is it good English?)

- The integrity for the CD-ROM was successful. The CD-ROM looks good!

Just facts. The check was successful, not need for yelling, this should be
normal after all..:-)
Looks good vs. looks correct : sounds better to me, but I may be wrong. I
want to avoid "trivial" language.

- The following file has a md5sum mismatch: ${FILE}. Your CD-ROM or
+Type: error
+_Description: Integrity test failed
+ The ${FILE} file failed the MD5 checkum verification. Your CD-ROM or
this file may be corrupt.
Error again
No yelling again, just facts..:)
The extended description is reworded. But I'm not sure about
"verification"....probably too french..:-)
"corrupt" or "corrupted"??
Template: cdrom-checker/nextcd
Type: boolean
Default: false
-_Description: Test another CD-ROM
- Would you like to test another CD-ROM?
+_Description: Check another CD-ROM integrity?
We always "checked" the CD-ROM, so let's continue....Extended description is
just repeating the short one, so let's drop it.

"Check" is used internally, so use it in the Main Menu entry also.
Same for "CD-ROM" and "integrity" (the latter may be dropped...)
I also suggest adding "(s)" as we allow for checking several CD's.
