Description Dr. Peter Boy 2002-04-19 11:01:33 UTC 
Description of Problem:

In the German translation there are the following corrections desirable:

If you klick onto the applet icon a window opens "Red hat Network Updates" At
the bottom of that window there are 2 buttons, the left one to start the update,
the right one to close the window.  The left one is translatet to "up2date
startet ..." (which means: up2datet is starting and working, please wait for the
first result") and should be changed to "up2date starten ..." (which means press
it to proceed and start the application, last character significant!)

If you proceed the update agent window opens showing the available channels. The
windows text is translated besides a help text in the center, currently saying
"To subscribe or unsubscribe from channels ...." which should be translated,
too, may be as following: "Um einen channel zu abonnieren oder ein Abonnement zu
lvschen sowie zu Informationen |ber weitere verf|gbare channels siehe:
https://rhn.redhat.com"

If you proceed for a current system (no update available) there comes a message
window which says: "Ihr System wurde komplett akualisiert. Es werden neue Pakete
benvtigt" which is rather missleading. Instead: "Ihr System ist auf einem
aktuellem Stand. Es werden keine neue Pakete benvtigt."

If you proceed for a system which needs updates, a window with available
packages is opened. In the middle there is a button "additional advisories" or
so in the english version (I can't cite here because my system is up2date now).
It is translated in a very unusual way and should be replaced by "Ergdnzende
Ratschldge".

Important to note, bugzilla doesn't like German Umlauts, so proposed
translations are better submitted as attachments (which don't suffer from 7-bit
ASCII conversion).

Also see bug #57662 which still hasn't been fixed. It is an embarrassing and
misleading translation mistake reported once more here. It should be fixed
regardless of any screen/translation freeze.

Seems a really old bug report, there have been a number of translation updates
to the rhn-applet module in the meantime. Is there still a problem in
Red Hat 9 ?
