Bug#277750: Shorten down the Dutch translation of the root password question dialog in package shadow
Dear Dutch language team, In #277750, I reported a bug about a too long dialog box for the root password dialog. This dialog is used in standard installs and having it too long may confuse users. Please find attached the relevant nl.po file. Could you take care of shortening it. As the shadow package maintainer now (along with the maintenance team), I believe I get get this fixed in time for sarge even if I stupidely forgot about this and more stupidely forgot to CC you when reporting the bug. PS : I didn't recheck since I reported this...so I assume the dialog is still too long but indeed, I'm not completely sure of that. -- nl.po Description: application/gettext

Maybe we can change it from Beheerderswachtwoord (root): to
Wachtwoord voor root:?
Hmm, what needs to be shorten is indeed the long description
translation more than the short one
ok, so how 'long' can the long description be?
#. Type: password
#. Description
#: ../passwd.templates:3
msgid
You need to set a password for 'root', the system administrative
account. A malicious or unqualified user with root access can have
disastrous results, so you should take care to choose a root password
that is not easy to guess. It should not be a word found in the
dictionary, or a word that could be easily associated with you, like
your middle name. A good password will contain a mixture of letters,
numbers and punctuation and will be changed at regular intervals. The
root password is changed by running the 'passwd' program as root.
msgstr
Er dient nu een wachtwoord gekozen te worden voor de beheerdersaccount
('root'). Omdat een onwetende of kwaadwillende gebruiker die zich als
beheerder aanmeldt rampzalige gevolgen kan hebben is het belangrijk dat
het beheerderswachtwoord moeilijk te raden is. Dit houdt in dat het
geen woord uit het woordenboek, of iets dat makkelijk met u te
associëren valt (banknummer, geboorte datum, tweede of derde voornaam,
huisdier, ...) mag zijn. Een ideaal wachtwoord bevat een mengeling van
letters, cijfers, leestekens en speciale tekens.
Een relatief goede manier om een wachtwoord te bedenken is om van een
lange zin, of een kort verhaaltje telkens de eerste letter (of de
tweede, of de laatste, ...) van elk woord te nemen, waarbij je
leestekens laat staan, en een willekeurige letter vervangt door een
speciaal teken (vb. $ voor s).
this bit could be dropped if it is to long
(loose translation to english:
A relatively good way to choose a password is take a long sentence of which
you take the first (or second, or last, or...) character of each word, keep
punctiation and maybe replace all occurences of a random charater by some
special character (e.g. $ instead of s).
)
