We would really much like to see it changed properly. ok, the ddtp db has this english/french apache description: | # Package(s): apache | # Package priority: task | # Package prioritize: 50 | Description: Versatile, high-performance HTTP server | The most popular server in the world, Apache features a modular | design and supports dynamic selection of extension modules at runtime. | Some of its strong points are its range of possible customization, | dynamic adjustment of the number of server processes, and a whole | range of available modules including many authentication mechanisms, | server-parsed HTML, server-side includes, access control, CERN httpd | metafiles emulation, proxy caching, etc. Apache also supports multiple | virtual homing. | . | Separate Debian packages are available for PHP, mod_perl, Java | Servlet support, Apache-SSL, and other common extensions. More | information is available at http://www.apache.org/. | Description-fr: Serveur HTTP polyvalent haute performance | Serveur le plus populaire du monde, Apache est caractérisé par sa conception | modulaire et autorise la sélection dynamique des modules d'extension lors de | l'exécution. | Quelques uns de ses points forts sont l'étendue des personnalisations | possibles, l'ajustement dynamique du nombre de processus du serveur, un | éventail complet de modules disponibles, incluant: | - plusieurs mécanismes d'authentification; | - des analyseurs de serveurs de HTML; | - des inclusions côté serveur; | - un contrôle d'accès; | - une émulation de métafichiers httpd CERN; | - un cache proxy, etc. | Apache supporte aussi les sites internes virtuels multiples. | . | Des paquets Debian séparés sont disponibles pour le PHP, mod_perl, le | support Servlet Java, Apache-SSL et d'autres extensions habituelles. Plus | d'informations sont disponibles sur http://www.apache.org/. first my personal opinion: I like the french format If you insist on your format, you should talk with the french translator or better with the french translation group (debian-l10n-french@lists.d.o) and find a solution. > But more generally talking, since i believe that soon the ddtp system will > be accepted and distributed to a more global level, is there any way in > which maintainers can interact with the system to avoid this kind of > issues (except from translating ourself)?
