Package: glibc
Severity: minor
One of the new debconf templates uses:
.
${services}
.
with the variables obviously meant to be substituted.
This is likely to trigger errors by translators as some of them
(inexperienced ones) could imagine they can translate the variable name.
I suggest marking this variable as non-translatable.
This can be done by adding the following line before the "_Description" line
of the error template in the templates file:
#flag:translate!:3
It marks the 3rd item of the template as non translatable (the first is the
short description, the second is the first paragraph, etc.)

Thanks for the hint. This is now fixed in the SVN.
I am closing the bug as it refers to a template that has never been
uploaded.
