Try understanding english/template/debian/translation-check.wml. The source should explain it. Quoting: # mindelta="number" # which defines the maximum difference in CVS revisions before the # translation is considered aged. The default value is 2. For important # pages, set it to 1, which means that every change is considered making the # translation aged. The value for the <aged> tag is displayed. # # maxdelta="number" # which defines the maximum difference in CVS revisions before the # translation is considered to be outdated (and the value of the <outdated> # tag is displayed). The default value is 5. For very important pages, set # it to be less. A value of 1 means that every change is considered making # the translation outdated. So you have two cases: 1. page is aged, msg "The original is newer than this translation" (mindelta) 2. page is out-dated, msg "This translation is too out of date" (maxdelta) Take a look at http://people.debian.org/~joey/webwml/de.html, section 'Out-dated...' Maybe that sheds some light on the issue Regards, Joey -- No question is too silly to ask, but, of course, some are too silly to answer. -- Perl book
