Bug#220180: cdrom-detect: Debconf templates polishing
Package: cdrom-detect
Severity: normal
Tags: patch d-i
Now usual debconf templates polishing bug report.
Proofreading by native English speakers needed. Chris, I'm sure you're
reading this..:)
Detailed rationale:
Template: cdrom-detect/manual_config
Type: boolean
Default: true
-_Description: Do you want to manually select the CDROM module and device ?
- No common CDROM reader was detected. But you may have an old Mitsumi or
- another non-IDE, non-SCSI CDROM reader. In that case you can indicate
- which module to load and which device to use. If you don't know what
- module and device are needed, look for some documentation or try a net
- install instead of a CDROM install.

1) Removed space before question mark. Shorten the question
2) Better readability by splitting in two paragraphs with the most important
one at the top
3) s/CDROM/CD-ROM for general d-i consistency
4) Drop the "but you may have".....which seems too french to me..:-)
English native speakers, please proofread this 2nd paragraph
Template: cdrom-detect/is_cd_inserted
Type: boolean
Default: false
-_Description: Perform manual CD configuration ?
- Your installation CD couldn't be mounted. That probably means that the CD
- is not yet inserted. If that's the case, just insert it and don't perform
- the manual configuration; the CD mount will be re-tried. If your CD was
- already in the drive, there was another problem; try the manual CD
- configuration.

1) Removed space before QM
2) split into paragraphs for readability. Minor rewrite of the third one

neither IDE nor SCSI).
1) Short desc=prompt
2) Just give facts..:-)
Template: cdrom-detect/cdrom_device
Type: string
Default: /dev/cdrom
-_Description: Give the corresponding device file
- In order to get access to your CDROM reader, I must know which device file
- should be used since non-standard CDROM readers use non-standard device
- files (like /dev/mcdx for example).
+_Description: Device file for accessing the CD-ROM:

+ files (such as /dev/mcdx).
.
You may switch to the shell on the second terminal (ALT+F2) to check the
- available devices in /dev with "ls /dev". You can come back here with
- ALT+F1.
+ available devices in /dev with "ls /dev". You can come back to this screen

1) Prompt
2) s/CDROM/CD-ROM
3) removed 1st person. English proofreading needed
4) s/here/to this screen
Template: cdrom-detect/success
Type: note
-_Description: A CDROM has been detected.
- CD autodetection worked. A CDROM reader has been found with the following
- CD inserted : ${cdname} You can continue the install.
+_Description: CD-ROM detected
+ The CD-ROM autodetection was successful. A CD-ROM reader has been found. It
+ currently contains this CD: ${cdname}. The installation process may continue.
1) Short desc==title
2) "worked" is a bit trivial, isn't it?
Proofreading needed
Template: cdrom-detect/no-cd
Type: error
-_Description: No CD was detected
- Please make sure that there is a CD in the CDROM reader.
+_Description: No CD detected
+ Please check that a CD has been inserted in the CD-ROM reader.
1) Title so no phrase required...but is this correct?
2) Minor rephrase
Template: cdrom-detect/wrong-cd
Type: error
-_Description: A CDROM has been detected, but it isn't a Debian CD
+_Description: Non-Debian CD-ROM detected
+ A CDROM has been detected, but it isn't a Debian CD.
+ .
Please make sure that the correct CD is inserted.
1) Title
2) Move the former short desc to extended description
Template: cdrom-detect/skip_autodetection
Type: boolean
Default: false
-_Description: Do you want to skip CDROM autodetection ?
- You may want to try this if autodetection is causing trouble. Otherwise
- you really shouldn't; manual intervention will be required to mount the
- CDROM on /cdrom before you can proceed.
+_Description: Skip CD-ROM automatic detection?
+ You should skip the CD-ROM automatic detection only if it is causing trouble.
+ If you skip it, a manual intervention will be required to mount the
+ CD-ROM on /cdrom before you can proceed.
1) Removed space and shorten question
2) rephrase....proofreading needed

Consistency with the similar template in choose-mirror

Shorter....This should be enough and easier to translate in 58 chars..:-)
