Description of problem:
incomplete german translation of /usr/bin/free

free-output of Fedora 19/20 beta:
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:      16350368    5982688   10367680      16932    1101152    2163116
-/+ buffers/cache:    2718420   13631948
Swap:      1047548          0    1047548


The output strings of /usr/bin/free are not fully translated to german strings.

   total     ->  Gesamt
   used      ->  Belegt
   free      ->  Frei
   shared    ->  Gemeinsam
   buffers   ->  Puffer
   cached    ->  Cache              (I'm not sure what translation is better
                                     "Cache" or "im Cache")
   Mem       ->  Speicher
   -/+ buffers/cache  ->  -/+ Puffer/Cache
   Swap      ->  Auslagerung



This translated strings have I copied from Ubuntu, where the free-command is translated. But in the Ubuntu-version of free there are another problems:
1) The formatting is not correct. Maybe there is no algorithm to calculate the needed spaces but there are fixed spaces?
2) Maybe some words are too long? If this is the case, so for the german word "Auslagerung" there could be "Swap" too. This is ok for german too. Or the first "columns" must be wider.

free-output of Ubuntu 13.10:
             Gesamt Belegt Frei Gemeinsam Puffer Cache
Speicher:   16350368    5982688   10367680      16932    1101152    2163116
-/+ Puffer/Cache:    2718420   13631948
Auslagerungsdatei:   1047548          0    1047548


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Fedora 19, Fedora 20 Beta


How reproducible:
always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. switch to german language
2. /usr/bin/free


Actual results:
             total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
Mem:      16350368    5982688   10367680      16932    1101152    2163116
-/+ buffers/cache:    2718420   13631948
Swap:      1047548          0    1047548


Expected results:
                 Gesamt     Belegt       Frei  Gemeinsam     Puffer      Cache
Speicher:      16350368    5982688   10367680      16932    1101152    2163116
-/+ Puffer/Cache:          2718420   13631948
Auslagerung:    1047548          0    1047548


Additional info:

Comment 1 Ondrej Oprala 2014-04-01 10:25:17 UTC
The /usr/bin/free is part of the procps-ng package.
For future reference, you can use rpm -qf your_file to find out what package it belongs to (if any).
Also "1. switch to german language" is an extremely vague step description.

Moving to procps-ng.

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2015-05-29 09:53:44 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 20. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '20'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 20 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 3 Fedora End Of Life 2015-06-29 13:18:39 UTC
Fedora 20 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-06-23. Fedora 20 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
