Description Jiri Popelka 2009-11-13 08:57:55 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #322901 +++

Description of problem:
In the german man page for "arp" is the following sentence:
"Wird die If the temp Flagge nicht angegeben, so werden die erzeugten Einträge
nicht dauerhaft in den ARP-Cache eingetragen."

The english version reads:
"If the temp flag is not supplied entries will be permanent stored into the ARP
cache."

So, apart from the very bad translation, the sens of this sentence is nedating.
As this has a high security impact I set the severity to high.

Hi Klaus, I had German, four years at high school and more than 6 years ago, but
still ... can you help me with the correct translation? 

--- Additional comment from Klaus+rhbz on 2007-10-08 08:41:06 EDT ---

Sure. I whould translate it like:
"Wenn das *temp*-Flag nicht angegeben wird, wird der Eintrag permanent im
ARP-Cache gespeichert."
Or not so strict word for word:
"Der Eintrag wird permanent im ARP-Cache gespeichert, wenn das *temp*-Flag
nicht angegeben wird."

Both are regular. The last version might be more clear as the important part
comes first. (See it like perl. "1. if (not temp) {save_it;}" 2. "save_it if
not temp;")

I wouldn't translate words like Cache or Flag as they are technical terms. Just
for the knowledge, Cache means "Zwischenspeicher" and Flag means "Markierung"
in this context.
