Thanks for your translation!


However, there is one issue here:

This package is a special case: it is part of the debian-installer, and
therefore covered by a process, which is sometimes called the "l10n machinery"
in the installer team.
This process merges all the translation material from all installer
packages (these are ~100 packages !) into one structure: that's the "d-i" 
repository [1] with its sublevel1/sublevel2/sublevel3/... directories, 
containing all the po files for all languages, for the whole
installer.

The reason for this process is: translators need to work on one repository
only instead of working on ~100 separate packages!
In fact, there is one po file per sublevel, so every translator has to work
on 5 po files.
(You can find translation statistics per language at
https://d-i.debian.org/l10n-stats/translation-status.html.)


To avoid situations like this, where translators are working on the "wrong"
file, we have added big fat warnings in all the po files of the d-i 
packages like this:


========= snip ====================
# THIS FILE IS GENERATED AUTOMATICALLY FROM THE D-I PO MASTER FILES
# The master files can be found under packages/po/
#
# DO NOT MODIFY THIS FILE DIRECTLY: SUCH CHANGES WILL BE LOST
#
# Spanish messages for debian-installer.

========= snap ====================


So, I wonder why you did not saw this warning?
It should have saved you from working on the wrong file, I think.

Where did you get the po file from, which you used for you translation
work?
Did this file have this warning or not?



For this bugreport, I have merged your changings into the d-i repository here:
https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/d-i/-/commit/11a22060f73a1bffb98a2bb233ff736d725853d2

And this way your translation will find its way into the partman-hfs
package tomorrow.

No need to worry too much about this... :-)

Greetings

Holger
