Re: Please update debconf PO translation for the package debconf 1.5.4
luk@debian.org cambiò:
Hi,
You are noted as the last translator of the debconf translation for
debconf. The English template has been changed, and now some messages
are marked "fuzzy" in your translation or are missing.
I would be grateful if you could take the time and update it.
Please send the updated file to me, or submit it as a wishlist bug
against debconf.
While rewieving the proposed updates to the Italian translation (I've
sent my comments to Davide, so expect an updated version) I've found
some glitches in the English source and I've made some suggestions to
improve the messages.
Can you apply them (if you think they are reasonable) or I should open a
wishlist bug?

Those should be written even in English as KDE and GNOME, according to
their guidelines.

What about a little modification:
"The dialog frontend is a full-screen, character based interface, while
the readline frontend uses a more traditional plain text interface, and
both the GNOME and KDE frontends are modern graphical interfaces,
fitting the respective desktops environment (but may be used in any X
environment). The editor frontend lets you configure things using your
favorite text editor. The noninteractive frontend never asks you any
questions."
I would also suggest to put GNOME and KDE first, thus prioritizing them
for novice users:
"The GNOME and KDE frontends are modern graphical interfaces, fitting
the respective desktops environment (but may be used in any X
environment). The dialog frontend is a full-screen, character based
interface, while the readline frontend uses a more traditional plain
text interface. The editor frontend lets you configure things using your
favorite text editor. The noninteractive frontend never asks you any
questions."

Buongiorno.
