Package: datum-gateway
Version: 0.4.1~beta-3
Severity: minor

While updating the German translation I noticed several issues in your
Debconf template which I list in the following. 

1) Several strings appear to have non optimal English. Since I'm not a
   native speaker, I strongly suggest to run the template through
   debian-l10n-english, which are very helpful in fixing the language.

   Example:
   This is particularly useful for system that doesn't use systemd.

   I would write:
   This is particularly useful for systems that don't use systemd.

2) Punctuation seems inconsistent, i.e. some string miss full stop at
   the end?

   Example:
   Leave it blank if you want to use the default

3) Inconsistent capitalization. I would always start with a capital
   letter.

   Example:
   please add \"blocknotify=killall -USR1 datum_gateway\" to your bitcoin.conf\"

4) Some strings use terms/concepts which should be explained for
   translators, as we are not experts of the field.

   This is very highly recommended to avoid mining stale work.

   What is "mining stale work"? I think you mine bitcoins?


   Pass workers to pool?

   What exactly is passed? On wikipedia, the term "ressources" is
   used, I could not find out what "workers" are. I don't assume these
   are actual persons.

I will submit the German translation in a moment; there you find
FIXMEs denoting all instances I found.
