Package: xscreensaver
Version: 4.24-5
Severity: wishlist
Architecture: i386

Hi there,

The BSOD screen saver from the xscreensaver package is very nice, but in my
humble opinion the description of BSOD in the French language could be
improved. My native language is French :).

Here is the English-language version of the BSOD description:
BSOD stands for ``Blue Screen of Death.'' The finest in personal computer
emulation, this hack simulates popular screen savers from a number of less
robust operating systems. Written by Jamie Zawinski.

Here is the French-language version of the BSOD description:
BSOD signifie «Blue Screen of Death» (écran bleu de la mort). Fine fleur de
l'émulation PC, ce hack simule des économiseurs d'écran de plusieurs
systèmes d'exploitation moins puissants. Écrit par Jamie Zawinski.

The translation is accurate, but in my opinion, "robust" would be better
translated as "robuste" rather than "puissant".
Actually "puissant" means "powerful" in English.
To me "robust" and "powerful" aren't synonymous.

So in my opinion the full description of BSOD in xscreensaver should read:
BSOD signifie «Blue Screen of Death» (écran bleu de la mort). Fine fleur de
l'émulation PC, ce hack simule des économiseurs d'écran de plusieurs
systèmes d'exploitation moins robustes. Écrit par Jamie Zawinski.

Of course, this is just a minor translation issue, this for sure is not a
major bug :)
