Dear GNU-Coreutils-Team,
There are two translation/grammar-Fails in the German files for the
Coreutils-Package.
- In rm --help, at the end of the text, it says "wird jedes aufgeführte
Verzeichnisse inklusive seiner Inhalte gelöscht". This is wrong (mixing
singular and plural). It must say "wird jedes aufgeführte Verzeichnis
inklusive seiner Inhalte gelöscht".
- In install --help, at the third paragraph of the help text, it
says "der/des aufgeführten Verzeichnis(se) […]". This is grammatically not
correct. It's so to speak "des aufgeführten Verzeichnisse", which is not
correct. It must say "des/der aufgeführten Verzeichnis(se)" (because in the
genitive case, "des" is used for the *singular* and for nouns that take the
article "der," whereas "der" (the genitive form, not the standard article)
is used for the plural and for nouns that take "die" or "das.")
I've CC'd [email protected] with this report.
Closing this here.
thanks,
Padraig
