Package: trans-de-en
Version: 1.8.1-9
Severity: normal

Hi,

"translate fagus" gives me, beyond others, the following result:

iBuchen {pl} (Fagus) (botanische Gattung) [bot.] <Buche> | aus Buchenholz :: 
beeches (botanical genus) <beech> | beechen

The first letter "i" seems to be superfluous.

The following command confirms that this is not an output mangling issue
of "translate" but actually an issue in the database file:

$ fgrep iBuchen /usr/share/trans/de-en
iBuchen {pl} (Fagus) (botanische Gattung) [bot.] <Buche> | aus Buchenholz :: 
beeches (botanical genus) <beech> | beechen

I also checked the online dictionary of upstream, but couldn't find the
issue there:

https://dict.tu-chemnitz.de/dings.cgi?service=deen&opterrors=0&optpro=0&query=fagus&iservice=

Compared to the data set shown upstream, that seemingly superfluous "i"
should actually be replaced with "Buchenbäume {pl}; ".

Additionally the string "aus Buchenholz" seems to be at some different
position upstream than in the database entry shown above. Might be part
of the difference, too, but looks misplaced upstream compared to the
database entry above.

So in the end this "iBuchen" string might be:

* fixed upstream and an outdated upstream version being in Debian
  Unstable;

* something that broke the file while building the Debian binary
  package; or

* something that broke upstream while generating different provided
  formats.
