Well, this may be true in general but more than one release of pdbv was made only for i18n purpose. That said, indeed, releases are made only if there's noticeable changes made. > Now, for the new version translation : > > -it is invalid: > msgfmt -o /dev/null -c fr_FR.po > fr_FR.po:53: nombre de spécifications de format entre « msgid » et « msgstr » > ne concorde pas > msgfmt: 1 erreur fatale trouvée Hum, this is error is "fatale" (deadly?) only because of -c usage.

In many packages packages got such names. In think we switched to such name after: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=200861 But if you can point me to a policy page saying it should be called fr.po and not fr_FR.po, there would be no problem in changing this onemore time. > Anyway, you'll find attached a new version of the translation >file. I used there the usual translations used by the Debian french >localisation team, which sometimes involves some rewrites (use of >non-breaking spaces when appropriate, use of "superutilisateur", >avoid using first person, s/bug/bogue and so on). Well, I'm quite confident in my understanding of french typography rules (in particular, I doubt someone would be able to catch errouneous ponctuation in what I write in French - that's the kind of mistakes I simply do not do, unlike grammar mistakes and alike). If there's first person usage, I think a bug should be posted against the whole package (unless this first person usage exists only in the translation). Where did you find it? About superutilisateur instead of "root user", why not. But it would be more precisely a translation of superuser... because in any cases, the root user is the root user, called root in French... Anyway, I updated the string to catch this suggestions. About bug, I do not really want to translate it "bogue" (ugly and ununderstandable for a french, unless he guess from what he knows of the similar english word - that clearly defeats translation purpose) but anomalie. And there are already in debian packages that use this translation (like pan). I'm checking a diff with your version to find others changes (but as said, I cannot applies just as it it, as it appears that we are not working on the same version, considering the number of translated strings you have in yours).
