Umm, not reallly. Upstream of xscreensaver lives at http://www.jwz.org/xscreensaver/ Debian takes it from there, creates a .deb package, which eventualy ends up in Ubuntu. It is always good to make the translation as much upstream as possible, because then it automatically ends up in the downstream projects without any special effort. > If so, where can I get the original .po-translation-file for > xscreensaver to complete the translation? You should: * download the latest source code from http://www.jwz.org/xscreensaver/download.html * update the po/de.po file * send it to the upstream author The translation will appear in Debian/Ubuntu as soon as new upstream version of xscreensaver will be released. -- Miroslav Kure -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
