Bug#488206: Which Esperanto translation should we use for eject debconf message?
Quoting Nuno Magalhães ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): When you say eject do you mean to eject (infinitive) or eject (imperative)? Infinitive. In D-I all menu items use the infinitive form.

Bug#488206: Which Esperanto translation should we use for eject debconf message?
Hello, In #488206, Felipe Castro sent an Esperanto translation of eject package debconf message. However, in #478957, another translation had been sent by Luiz Portella, but unfortunately not committed because wrongly identified as program translation (which I didn't notice, shame on me). Both translations differ: Felipe's version: msgid Eject a CD from the drive msgstr Eligi lumdiskon el la disk-legilo Luiz' version: msgid Eject a CD from the drive msgstr Elĵetu KD-on el la lumdiskingo Which one should be used? (please keep [EMAIL PROTECTED] CC'ed to answers) -- signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Hello, I also thought that Luiz had translated the program, so I sent the debconf part. But today I noticed the duplication. I prefer mine one, but the translation of Luiz looks like correct. So, if you want to apply the criterion of date, be free to use his translation.

Neither verb seems perfect - the first is more like output and the second throw out. Probably the second is less confusing, because output appears in other situations in computing and it's closer to the msgid literally.

When you say eject do you mean to eject (infinitive) or eject (imperative)? Of both versions, Luiz's seems better Felipe's, although i'd change it to Forigu KD-on el diskingo (imperative) Forigi KD-on el diskingo (infinitive), diskingo simply meaning drive. -- Nuno Magalhães

Nuno, Plejofte, la uzo de infinitivo estas pli neŭtrala, do mi preferas ĝin, tio ŝparas troan cerbumadon, laŭ mia opinio. Kaj pri la verbo eject, nur uzantoj kiuj bone konas la anglan kapablas tuj kompreni ke se la lumdisko estas eljêtata, tio ne signifas ke ĝi flugos al sian frunton (troige :-). Tial mi preferas pli ĝeneralan vorton: eligi. Ne nur datumaron la komputilo eligas: ĝi povas eligi ankaŭ aliajn aĵojn, ĉu ne? Felipe.
