Package: po-debconf Version: 1.0.10 Severity: normal Tags: patch Hello Nicolas, as promised here are my suggested changes. Some general remarks before: *)To indicate hyphes, I consequently used \\(hy (in the German version). You might consider using it in the English template as well. *)I am not a native (but still good) English speaker. So after implemting (most|all) changes, you might want to run the man pages past a second (fluent|native) English speaker. *)I noticed, that you cited other programms without specifing the man page section. I did not comment this below, but I think it is custom to add the man page section (at least for the first occurence in a man page). *)Please do *not* simply unfuzzy translations. At least for German, I tried to faithfully reproduce the English original, even if I sometimes suggested a change (because I thought you might mean something different). *)Please note that I did not look for punctuation, if you are interested, I can provide you with web pages dedicated to proof reading punctuation.
Also please note, that several lines contain *multiple* changes.
