I usually avoid this because of time constraints and the inevitable debate that follows with the maintainer....ending up in me rewriting his/her templates entirely.... However, with nice fellows, I'm less lazy, so I can explain..:-) (actually, I suspected the maintainer to be you, because of the package name and purpose) Quoting from the PO file....I guess you'll easily manage to put this back in the original templates file. #. Type: string #. Description #: ../gnumed-client.templates:4 msgid "On which host is the GNUmed database running?" msgstr "" GNUmed database host: In the debconf templates style guide, I suggest avoiding questions for string templates and rathe ruse "opened" prompts like the above #. Type: string #. Description #: ../gnumed-client.templates:4 msgid "Default: localhost." msgstr "Défaut : localhost." #. Type: string #. Description #: ../gnumed-client.templates:4 msgid "(This means server and client are installed on the very same computer.)" msgstr "(Le choix par défaut signifie que le serveur et le client sont installés sur la " "même machine.)" I tend to discourage hardcoding default values in templates. This is because the "default" value will be different for reconfigures for instance. I'd suggest something like dropping "Default: localhost" and keeping as 2nd paragraph: "If the server and the client run on the same host, you should use 'localhost' here." #. Type: multiselect #. Description #: ../gnumed-common.templates:4 msgid "Please specify the GNUmed users!" msgstr "Veuillez choisir les utilisateurs GNUmed !" I highly discourage exclamation marks and here, the template being a select quesiton, I'd suggest: "GNUmed users:" #. Type: multiselect #. Description #: ../gnumed-common.templates:4 msgid "" "Here is a list of all normal users of the system. Now you can select those " "users who should be able to use GNUmed." msgstr "" "Voici la liste de tous les utilisateurs du système. Vous pouvez sélectionner " "les utilisateurs qui seront capable d'utiliser GNUmed." "Please choose, among the list of all unprivileged users of the system, those who will be allowed running GNUmed" This avoids "here is"...which is somewhat interface dependent. I also recommend avoiding talking about "normal" users, in a very politically correct mood..:-)
