Description Friedel Wolff 2012-06-30 23:06:11 CEST

I'm translating rpmdrake, and want to suggest some rewordings to the English text. I'm not a native speaker of English, but hopefully these help translators, and users of the English text. Feel free to ask if anything is unclear. I'll probably update this as I finish my translation.


../Rpmdrake/edit_urpm_sources.pm:374
informations -> information


in Rpmdrake/edit_urpm_sources.pm:
"XML meta-data" and "XML info file(s)".
I think it is irrelevant to say that it is in XML. Also, it inconsistently refers to these as the "meta-data" and "info file(s)"


  ../Rpmdrake/edit_urpm_sources.pm:384
"Updating media implies updating XML info files already required at least once."
Does the "at least once" refer to the updating, or to the requiring? Is a rewording possible here (or at least a comment to the translators?


  ../Rpmdrake/edit_urpm_sources.pm:575
You may specify a user/password for the proxy authentication:
  ../Rpmdrake/edit_urpm_sources.pm:578
User:
user -> username


  ../Rpmdrake/edit_urpm_sources.pm:698
Choose a medium for adding in the media limit:
->
Choose a medium to add to the media limit:

Similarly:
  ../Rpmdrake/edit_urpm_sources.pm:896
Choose a key for adding to the medium %s
->
Choose a key to add to the medium "%s"
(here I would also enclose the %s in quotes)


  ../Rpmdrake/edit_urpm_sources.pm:983 ../rpmdrake:623
Rpmdrake is Mageia package management tool.
->
Rpmdrake is the Mageia package management tool.
or
Rpmdrake is the package management tool for Mageia.


  ../Rpmdrake/edit_urpm_sources.pm:1079
This medium needs to be updated to be usable. Update it now ?
(remove space before question mark)

  ../Rpmdrake/edit_urpm_sources.pm:1191
"...as well?)."
the double punctuation is unfortunate. I would end the sentence before the brackets fully, and put a full question in the brackets to avoid ending it with ? and .

  ../Rpmdrake/gui.pm:198 and the strings following it end with whitespace. Is this oversight or is anything intended? What should translators do with this?


  ../Rpmdrake/gui.pm:243
No non installed dependency.
->
All dependencies installed.
(or am I misunderstanding this?)


  ../Rpmdrake/gui.pm:566
The "%s" package is in urpmi skip list.
in _the_ urpmi skip list.

Comment 2 Thierry Vignaud 2012-09-18 16:05:38 CEST

Mostly done in git.

"Updating media implies updating XML info files already required at least
once" means that if it was downloaded/used once, then it'll be updated along when updating media

I'm not convinced about "in _the_ urpmi skip list"

../Rpmdrake/gui.pm:198 is concatenated to some value.
We should use %s instead.

No comments for over 2 years. Obviously there is no need to keep open. Housekeeping wins.
