Thanks for caring for translations. ;-)

I'd prefer to consider it as a (non-translatable) name (brand).  The
capital letters are a sign for this.  Same for Debian Med and Debian
Edu.

I would also like to see a consitant translation for the short
descriptions of the metapackages.  If you look at the Spanish
tasks page

   http://blends.debian.org/science/tasks/index.es.html

in the column "Description" you see the short description of the
metapackages.

You have some non-translated short descriptions and some
translated one that do not follow a common scheme.  I also
wrote to the German l10n list about the German page which
has more translations but even more inconsistencies:

   http://blends.debian.org/science/tasks/index.de.html

I did not got any answer so far.

Kind regards

       Andreas.
