Yep, it's much better. I was forced to think a little bit about your "program name" explanation. Why do you not just add "such as schroot-listmounts, schroot-releaselock" to the comments? (Are there other possibilities?) So the translator does not need to check all possible combinations related to the gender or whatever whether it matchs or not. #. TRANSLATORS: %1% = chroot name #: dchroot/dchroot-chroot-config.cc:126 #, boost-format msgid "%1% chroot (dchroot compatibility)" msgstr "%1% chroot (dchroot compatibility)" What's the chroot name? The path of the chroot'ed directory or a name supplied by the user for this chroot? Maybe you can explain the terminology a little bit at the beginning of po/schroot.po? I will provide a German translation soon. I hope nobody started yet. PS: You included the generated API documentation, which makes this archives large. I assume you normally do not release it.
