You will not find these strings in the installer. For things like this, you may need to look at the context. If you search in the xml source for the English version of the Manual, you will find this in en/boot-new/boot-new.xml. The section containing these paragraphs is marked 'arch="m68k"'. The section is thus architecture specific (for systems with a Motorola 68000 processor). This corresponds to this page of the manual for m68k: http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/manual/en.m68k/ch07s01.html#id2539830 These commands are thus architecture specific. They are probably used when the system is booted to interact with the firmware and thus they should probably not be translated as the firmware is probably [1] not translated either, so users will actually need to enter these commands in English. You will find more situations where actual commands or interaction with firmware or architecture specific bootloaders or even very specific programs is used. If you are unsure if these have been translated, it is best to leave the commands in the manual untranslated as well (but maybe add a vi description if you know enough about it to do so safely). Cheers, FJP [1] note the nice triple usage of probably here :-)
