Description of problem: The German localization of PolicyKit-gnome is full of errors and bad German. "Implizite Berechtigungen sind Berechtigungen, die basierend auf bestimmten " "Kriterien automatisch an Benutzer vergeben werden, beispielsweise ob sie an " "der lokalen Konsole sind." This sentence is hard to understand, one doesn't know if the last part describes a criteria or a privilege. Suggestion: "beispielsweise abhängig davon, ob sie an der lokalen Konsole sind." "Berechtigungen von allen Benutzern anzeigen" needs to be "Berechtigungen aller Benutzer anzeigen". Rettet den Genitiv! The word "Sie" sometimes is written with a capital letter (Höflichkeitsform), sometimes without. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): PolicyKit-gnome-0.9-3.fc10.i386
I transferred the bug to Gnome since the translations are made there. http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=577214
Upstream closed this bug with OBSOLETE.
The first string was indeed changed, but the new translation also includes an error. The second one is still unchanged and needs to be fixed. The third issue also is not properly fixed. See http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=577214#c8 for details. Fabian, can you reopen the upstream bug? I don't have the privileges.
All remaining strings are not used anymore (commented out with '#~'), and if they will be included again, they will be marked as fuzzy. Also AFAIK policykit-gnome tool is going to be replaced with a new, rewritten one.

This is no guarantee that the same people who made the mistakes once will not make them again. > Also AFAIK > policykit-gnome tool is going to be replaced with a new, rewritten one. You are correct, PolicyKit-gnome was replaced by polkit-gnome in rawhide. But polkit-gnome still uses the same old translations with all the errors I'm complaining about in this bug. Nevertheless I'm going to close this bug now and open a new one against polkit-gnome in rawhide.
