Bug#782112: French: "Release Info" translated to "Dernière version" in main page www.debian.org



Hello,

Someone already found this "bug" in #721687 (I saw you merged) and we carefully ignored it... To have some argument, I can say that "release" and "info" are singular, so it is "1 information" on "1 release". Litterally, that could be translated as "Information sur la version", which is very ugly.

The second point is we are very conservative and this string is here since the origin of the translation of the web site ;-) (http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/webwml/webwml/french/po/templates.fr.po?revision=1.1&view=markup)

And last but not least, the link points to a page who says :
Debian always has at least three releases in active maintenance: stable, testing and unstable.

So it should be "ReleaseS infoS", as all past releases + the coming one are listed.
But sometimes clarity is better than precision.

Could we just close this not-a-bug ? It takes me a lot of time to find good words that can thanks for the help offered, but decline it as I am (we are ?) happy with this string (and some others, I have now to answer to #709685 ;-).

Baptiste
