Hello Bernhard,
Thank you for helping to improve the translation of telemetry.
I think you are intending to change any units to singular which grammatically
would be correct.
However, the “Bytes” thing is potentially confusing:
https://git.ipfire.org/?p=telemetry.git;a=blob;f=src/daemon/graph.c;hb=00b4fd6e254508cf958fa0144d2e2722a93b479d#l567
So this is being used on the left hand side of the graphs in the legend.
Screenshot attached.
Intuitively I would have chosen “Bytes”. This is just a feeling.
However, if we want to change all those units to singular, we should not only
do this in German, but in English, too. I assume that these parts of the
grammar are the same.
In English typically graphs will have Bytes and not Byte. You would have One
Byte but definitely not Two Byte, it would be Two Bytes.
If it were made singular then the same approach would have to be used for
things like Buffers in that same image, where it would be changed to Buffer but
then also packet instead of packets, day instead of days etc and none of that
sounds right to me for the English version.
Regards,
Adolf.
