Dear Helge,

I don't get it. It's on purpose and also the same in the englisch version? So some english pidgin got translated to some german pidgin? Why not say "this is nonsense pidgin" and just not translate it. What's the point of it?

I discovered it by `man -k sway` as some of this "Buchstabensuppe" contains "sway". Then I looked at this manpage and got even more irritated why I have this pidgin on my disk.

Best regards,
Martin

Yes, this is correct and on purpose. This also applies to the English
version, and we are only shipping translations.

So please file a bug against bsdgames in case you think the English
version is incorrect. (You can reopen this bug and reassign, if you
want). Once this is decided upon, manpages-de can follow suite.

Greetings
