Most of those errors are detected by the scripts generating those pages.
Great work, Denis. They are all listed on
http://www.debian.org/intl/l10n/templates/errors-by-pkg
I have a patch underway to make this information more visible from the
language pages (like http://www.debian.org/intl/l10n/templates/de). But I
wait for review from Denis and others to make sure that this time I'll
manage to change those pages without inducing an incredible mess for
translators and webmasters such as the one I'm sadly getting used to.
In the meanwhile, you should consider translating the packages using
po-debconf, since such issues are avoided by the better i18n schema designed
by Denis...
Have a look at
http://www.debian.org/intl/l10n/po-debconf/ja
Japaneese is only 17% translated in that area. 664 strings are translated
(from 3820). This page also repports that you personnaly translated 4
templates which are now not up to date anymore (alsa-driver, apt-build,
base-config and debconf)...
Thanks, Mt.
