Package: tar Version: 1.16-2 Severity: minor Tags: l10n
Option -m (--touch) is described as this in manpage in english : -m, --touch don't extract file modified time It is translated to french as : -m, --touch Ne restaure pas la date de modification du fichier restauré. The addition of the "fichier restauré" instead of "fichier" is confusing : is tthe date restored the one of the file, i.e. initial file, or the restored file : i.e. regenerated file... Well, this is not very clear, although the --touch tends to indicate that the effect would be the one of a touch command... And it could very easily be misinterpreted. I suggest removing the "restauré" addition from the translation. Maybe the formulation of the GNU tar manual would be preferable in the end anyway (http://www.gnu.org/software/tar/manual/html_node/Option-Summary.html#Option-Summary) : The -m Sets the data modification time of extracted files to the extraction time, rather than the data modification time stored in the archive. See Data Modification Times.
