Agreed. Two other points:
1) "Consistency" - with what? Why is consistency between the package
maintainer's key and the displayed text /in one language/
important?
2) These are *example* English versions. Further discussions have
resulted in other suggestions, like:
user/multimedia Sound & Video
user/navigation Location & Navigation
user/utilities Accessories
user/network Internet & Networking
These strings are just that: examples. They are to demonstrate and
further illustrate the applications which should go into each
category. Once the category list is finalised, the translations in
English, French, German, ... can be determined.
Cheers,
Andrew
