Bug#218232: (forw) Re: APT translation to zh_TW
Is there any objection to the following suggestion I received
privately ?
If there is none, I guess that the change should be commited as a fix
to bug 218232.
PS : I hope I don't break encodings...this mail looks nice in my own
Emacs and the characters definitely look Chinese....but of course,
given my ignorance in your language, I can't read them.

Subject: Re: APT translation to zh_TW
"接觸 " is close to "contact" or "touch".
My opinnion is "Hit" translation should be "敲擊"
