While translating the file Ultrapossum (great name! :D ), I encountered the following errors, which I thought you might like to eliminate in a future release.

You've obviously tried very hard to create these strings, and I don't mean to belittle that effort, only to help you express things correctly. :)

1.
#. Type: note
#. Description
#: ../ultrapossum-server.templates:3
msgid "UltraPossum may conflict original OpenLDAP configuration."

"may conflict with the original OpenLDAP configuration"


2.
#. Type: note
#. Description
#: ../ultrapossum-server.templates:3
msgid ""
"Because UltraPossum edits the configuration file of OpenLDAP slapd by "
"itself, it may conflict with your manual editting or slapd debconf system. "
"UltraPossum can't detect this case while the configuration time. For "
"example, if you specify the same DN value as the DN by slapd debconf system, "
"it results in an error. So you have to check what you did other than "
"UltraPossum and try not to conflict each other."

"Because UltraPossum edits the configuration file of OpenLDAP slapd by "
"itself, it may conflict with your manual editing of slapd's debconf options. "
"UltraPossum can't detect this situation while configuring. For "
"example, if you specify the same DN value as the DN in slapd's debconf options, " "it results in an error. So you have to check anything you do differently to "
"UltraPossum and try not to conflict with each other."


3.
#. Type: string
#. Description
#: ../ultrapossum-server.templates:14
msgid ""
"Specify the super-user name. This user can do everything for the UltraPossum " "directory. For example, no access control nor search limit are performed at "
"all."

This is OK, but it's not quite the usual way of saying these things. I would suggest:

"Specify the super-user name. The super-user has complete rights over the UltraPossum directory. For example, neither access-control nor search-limit routines are performed."

(The words access-control and search-limit are hyphenated in that sentence because they are acting as adjectives.)


4.
#. Type: string
#. Description
#: ../ultrapossum-server.templates:22
msgid "Datbase directory"

"Database"

(you need a database to hold all three a's ;) )


5.
#. Type: select
#. Description
#: ../ultrapossum-server.templates:30
msgid ""
"In LDAP server, there are 2 types of server. One is master and second is "
"slave server. Master server is primary LDAP server which allows to be "
"modified, while slave server doesn't. Standalone is a kind of master server. "
"This makes configuration simple."

"There are two types of LDAP server: master and slave. The master, primary server allows modifications, while the slave server does not. The standalone option is a kind of master server, which simplifies configuration."


6.
#. Type: string
#. Description
#: ../ultrapossum-server.templates:49
msgid ""
"In slave server, you can limit who can modify the directory to keep "
"directory consistency. Only this DN can modify it."

"With the slave server, you can limit who modifies the directory, to keep the directory consistent. ..."


7.
#. Type: password
#. Description
#: ../ultrapossum-server.templates:55
msgid "Specify the password of the replication."

"Specify the password for replication."

It would also help to have a comment explaining what is being replicated. ;)


8.
#. Type: boolean
#. Description
#: ../ultrapossum-server.templates:70
msgid "All informations prepared. Are you sure to continue?"

"All information has been prepared. Are you sure you want to continue?"

"information" is plural already, a mass noun like furniture and money. You can count bytes of information, pieces of furniture and currency units of money, but you can't count information itself etc. So you don't use a "s" on the end of the word. ;)


9.
#. Type: boolean
#. Description
#: ../ultrapossum-server.templates:70
msgid ""
"Now you specified all informations enough to configure the UltraPossum " "server. You can select to edit these informations again before setting "
"UltraPossum server actually if you want."

You have now specified all the information necessary for configuration of the UltraPossum server. (If you wish, you can choose to edit this information again, before setting up the UltraPossum server.)


10.
#. Type: boolean
#. Description
#: ../ultrapossum-failover.templates:4
msgid "Do you want to fail over the master service?"

I'm sorry, I don't understand this string at all. Could you please explain it? Do you mean, "Do you want to backup the master service?"


11.
#. Type: select
#. Description
#: ../ultrapossum-failover.templates:9
msgid "Which server become the backup server?"

"Which machine will host the backup server?"


12.
#. Type: boolean
#. Description
#: ../ultrapossum-failover.templates:17
msgid "Does the backup server take over the virtual IP, too?"

"Will the backup server also use the virtual IP?"
