I found many very strange "localizable" strings in the PO file, probably coming from aptitude-gtk:
#: src/gtk/aptitude.glade:221 msgid "gtk-undo" msgstr "gtk-undo" #: src/gtk/aptitude.glade:234 msgid "gtk-cut" msgstr "gtk-cut" #: src/gtk/aptitude.glade:242 msgid "gtk-copy" msgstr "gtk-copy" #: src/gtk/aptitude.glade:250 msgid "gtk-paste" msgstr "gtk-paste" .../... As you see, in the French translation, I'll "translate" them by just copying the msgid. I guess that these are indeed strings that come from GTK itself. So, for instance, "gtk-copy" would be "Copy" in English and "Copier" in French. If that's correct, I think these strings should not be marked as translatable. Another slightly incorrect string seems to be: #: src/gtk/aptitude.glade:2179 msgid "" "Do you want to apply these changes?\n" "You can also modify the files by hand, then click \"No\"." msgstr "" Here, the message makes assumptions about the interface (ie there will be Yes and No buttons....) which is discouraged (the buttons could be translated...or not). I'd suggest using something more neutral such as "If you refuse this option, you can also modify files by hand".....and I also personnally dislike the "by hand" that is too much suggesting a really manual action such as using a screwdriver or any other real tool. But that is more personal taste...:) --
