It's not that hard: debconf-getlang sv templates templates.sv > templates.sv.new && mv templates.sv.new templates.sv and check templates.sv > Also, since it is the most commonly reported "error" on the page, I > think that more maintainers do it the same way as I do. I for myself believe that maintainers keep translations in a single file because they do not know how to manage them, this is why I wrote http://www.debian.org/intl/l10n/templates/hints For instance could you have a look at http://bugs.debian.org/134626 and tell me why my translation has been put into master templates file? (there is nothing personal against binutils' maintainer, this is just an example) > At least it should not be reported if there also are translations in other > files, since that would indicate that the one in the master template are > translations done by the maintainer. Okay, I will try to implement it. Denis
