hm, O.K. I was expecting something like "I have learned at school, that..." or something like that ... ;) My own search with DuckDuckGo indicates, that "must not" is used in regulations, edicts (and the like), or in prohibitions, bans (and the like) (see e.g. http://english.lingolia.com/en/grammar/verbs/modal-verbs. If my English is not that rusted, it seems to underpin my opinion ... ;) But that is only one of six or seven sites, which I have skimmed through (in German as well as in English ... ;) ). > their own idea and those ideas might change from moment to moment. > It's hard to avoid being flippant when answering this sort of > thing.

Well, I think, it is the same problem as with our project: You need the people, who are willing to translate it. If there are none, the commands as well as their help, manpages, info sides are left in English (which I prefer instead of having in a language, I am neither able to read or write) ... ;) Thank you for your information Thomas. <Rest snipped and TOFU removed, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posting_style#Top-posting> -- There are many of us in this old world of ours who hold that things break about even for all of us.
