While translating the file canna, I encountered the following typos, which I thought you might like to eliminate in a future release.

Original: ⌘0 Do you want to connect to the Canna server from remote host?

"from a remote host"

When using a noun in English, you will usually need to use an article with it: a, an, the, this, that, these, those.

You use "a" when you could be talking about any server, and you use "the" when you're talking about a specific server which you've mentioned before.

"an" is used instead of "a", before nouns starting with a vowel (a,e,i,o,u), excepting words starting with "u" which do not sound like "uh" in "but": e.g.

university, use, useless, using, unique, unit, unite: a university, a unit

as opposed to the normal "uh" sound in:

umbrella, underwear, underground, urgency, utmost: an umbrella, an urgent meeting

The Canna server only allows connections via UNIX domain sockets when `-
inet' option is not specified. It means that when Canna server is started without `-inet' option, only clients which run on the same host can connect to the server. Some clients such as `egg' and `yc-el' do not support UNIX domain socket and require `-inet' option even if they run on the same host.

"when the `-inet' option is not specified", since this is a specific option.

"when the Canna server is started without the `-inet' option"

"do not support the Unix-domain socket, and require the `-inet' option even if they run on the same host" (eliminating a double space between "on" and "the same host".

If you want to connect this Canna server from remote hosts or if you want to
use INET-domain-only softwares, you should run the server with `-inet'
option.

"if you want to connect to this Canna server"

Usage: (connect to [A]) or (connect [A] to [B])

"software" is a mass noun: already plural, like furniture and water, because you can't count it. You can't say "two softwares". You can say, "two pieces of furniture" or "two litres of water" or "two pieces of software", but without those units, you can't count these things, so they are already plural, and do not have an "s" on the end of the word.

"if you want to use INET-domain-only software, you should run the server with the `-inet' option."

Original: ⌘0 Please enter the name of hosts allowed to connect this server

Here you have "name" singular, but "hosts" plural: they need to agree. You can say either:

"Please enter the name of each host allowed to connect to this server" [connect _to_ again]
or
"Please enter the names of hosts allowed to connect to this server"

`unix'  is a special notation for allowing the accses via UNIX domain
sockets.

"allowing access via UNIX domain sockets"? (This can be any number of accesses.)

The "ki" or "ke" sound does not usually use the letter "c".
