From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; Konqueror/3.2; Linux) (KHTML, like Gecko) Description of problem: Here are my views of the german translation: 1:http://people.redhat.com/~katzj/anaconda-langs/de_DE.UTF-8/screenshot-0001.png you can see that the fourth button, "Wiederherstell" ist cut, it must be "Wiederherstellen". 2: same place, above, there are shown the drive specifications, I think "Laufwerk" should be better as 'drive' cause drive is not a german word 3:http://people.redhat.com/~katzj/anaconda-langs/de_DE.UTF-8/screenshot-0002.png In the text "Sie können..." it says "die nicht automatisch ermittelt werden" - thats present or future, it should be past: "die nicht ermittelt wurden" 4:http://people.redhat.com/~katzj/anaconda-langs/de_DE.UTF-8/screenshot-0003.png In the help text it says: "zunächst das Gerät und klicken Sie bearbeiten" - it should be a "zunächst das Gerät und klicken Sie /dann/ bearbeiten" combination, similar to "at first ... then" 5: same page, not sure, if it matters, but in the interface list: IP/Netmask could be IP/Netzmaske or IP/Maske like the translation of /sbin/ifconfig 6:http://people.redhat.com/~katzj/anaconda-langs/de_DE.UTF-8/screenshot-0005.png The Help text says: "Wenn Sie andere Sprachen installieren wollen, können Sie die Standardsprache nach der Installation ändern" - that means something like: "If you want to install other languages, you can change the standard-language after the installation" - but I think it should be like: "If you install other languages,..." without the 'want'. If you agree, it musst be "Wenn Sie andere Sprachen installieren, ..." in the german translation. 7:http://people.redhat.com/~katzj/anaconda-langs/de_DE.UTF-8/screenshot-0007.png It says "Ist die Installation erst einmal abgeschlossen, Erzeugen Sie einen Benutzeraccount für die allgemeine Benutzung, und verwenden Sie su - um Root-Zugriff zu erhalten, wenn Sie schnell mal eine administrative Tätigkeit vornehmen müssen." I think it should be better to write the first thing in passive like "a user account is created" and to devide the sentence into to sentences like: "Ist die Installation erst einmal abgeschlossen, wird ein Benutzeraccount für die allgemeine Benutzung erstellt. Verwenden Sie dann su -, um Root-Zugriff zu erhalten, wenn Sie schnell mal eine administrative Tätigkeit vornehmen müssen."

Re: 1:you can see that the fourth button, "Wiederherstell" ist cut, it must be "Wiederherstellen". FYI: I think this is there since Red Hat 8 ... Shame on me, I never made a bug report... Also the text on all those buttons in the middle on that partition-page seem to be a bit shifted to the right?!
Here are my additional corrections/suggestions: (most might sound picky, but I'd write it this way ;-) (first line original text; second line my suggestion) http://people.redhat.com/~katzj/anaconda-langs/de_DE.UTF-8/screenshot-0001.png RAID-Gerät/LVM Volumen Gruppen-Member ausblenden RAID-Gerät/LVM Volumen Gruppen-Mitglied ausblenden (translation of Member) http://people.redhat.com/~katzj/anaconda-langs/de_DE.UTF-8/screenshot-0004.png Aktiviere Firewall Firewall aktivieren http://people.redhat.com/~katzj/anaconda-langs/de_DE.UTF-8/screenshot-0006.png Wählen Sie die nächste Stadt in Ihrer Zeitzone: Wählen Sie die nächstgelegene Stadt in Ihrer Zeitzone: (nächste = next; nächstgelegene = nearest) http://people.redhat.com/~katzj/anaconda-langs/de_DE.UTF-8/screenshot-0007.png Bestätigen Wiederholen (bestätigen = confirm; wiederholen = repeat) http://people.redhat.com/~katzj/anaconda-langs/de_DE.UTF-8/screenshot-0008.png Verwaltungstools Diese Gruppe bietet eine Reihe von grafische Verwaltungstools...

You are totally right, except for the last point: I am not sure, whether they (RedHat) want something like "installieren" (=install) there, or they want write ("schreiben" -> "geschrieben"). But I think, to install is more popular.

Re: -- 1:http://people.redhat.com/~katzj/anaconda-langs/de_DE.UTF-8/screenshot-0001.png you can see that the fourth button, "Wiederherstell" ist cut, it must be "Wiederherstellen". -- This bug has been reported, and unless we find a shorter word for 'Wiederherstellen', there's nothing else I can do. :( What about 'Rücksetzen'? Re: -- 2: same place, above, there are shown the drive specifications, I think "Laufwerk" should be better as 'drive' cause drive is not a german word -- This part is not translatable, and therefore there's nothing I can do either. Re: -- 5: same page, not sure, if it matters, but in the interface list: IP/Netmask could be IP/Netzmaske or IP/Maske like the translation of /sbin/ifconfig -- As in bug #121307. I believe that most german documents do use Netmask, and not Netzmaske. But feel invited to change it and take responsibility for the term. ;) If /sbin/ifconfig is IP/Maske, I'd probably prefer to change it there. Re: -- Re: 1:you can see that the fourth button, "Wiederherstell" ist cut, it must be "Wiederherstellen". FYI: I think this is there since Red Hat 8 ... Shame on me, I never made a bug report... Also the text on all those buttons in the middle on that partition-page seem to be a bit shifted to the right?! -- We did, for both these points.

Any other suggestions? Re: -- http://people.redhat.com/~katzj/anaconda-langs/de_DE.UTF-8/screenshot-0009.png Sobald Sie auf Weiter drücken, wird Fedora auf Ihre Festplatte geschrieben. Sobald Sie auf Weiter drücken, wird Fedora auf Ihrer Festplatte installiert. And Re: You are totally right, except for the last point: I am not sure, whether they (RedHat) want something like "installieren" (=install) there, or they want write ("schreiben" -> "geschrieben"). But I think, to install is more popular. -- The english says write, i.e. the operating system is written to disk. If anyone wants to make it install, please feel free to do so. :) Re: -- and instead of "hostname" you should use "Rechnername" -- I believe Hostname is more commonly used than Rechnername. With all other points I agree and everyone is invited to make changes to any of the po files. Thanks for the feedback, I'll post this bugzilla link to fedora-trans-de. Remember, Fedora is a community project, and as one wise man once said, make the change you want to see in the Fedora translation. ;) Bernd
Just to note, I've fixed some of these. For the others, I'm not going to make a premature decision and call them bugs just yet. Thanks, Bernd
I had once the problem, that when I installed FC1 and wanted to make the Boot-floppy it gave me two options "Bootdisk anlegen" and " LÃSCHEN" . In English there are also two options: "Make bootdisk" and _"Cancel"_. When I clicked on "LÃSCHEN" it canceled. So the next time I had to make an English installation.
@bernd groh: *concerning: 1:http://people.redhat.com/~katzj/anaconda-langs/de_DE.UTF-8/screenshot-0001.png you can see that the fourth button, "Wiederherstell" ist cut, it must be "Wiederherstellen". --> maybe "erneuern" (renew) ? *concerning: -- http://people.redhat.com/~katzj/anaconda-langs/de_DE.UTF-8/screenshot-0007.png Bestätigen Wiederholen (bestätigen = confirm; wiederholen = repeat) -- I'm sure either could be misleading if the context would be unknown. Any other suggestions? --> what about something like this 'passwort:' 'passwort(erneut):' or as second line: 'passwort(erneut eingeben):' ? greets, chris donhofer
