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.
Hope this helps,
