Public bug reported: Binary package hint: update-manager
DistUpgrade/DistUpgradeViewGtk.py contains those strings: msgid "%s package is going to be removed." msgid_plural "%s packages are going to be removed." msgid "%s new package is going to be installed." msgid_plural "%s new packages are going to be installed." msgid "%s package is going to be upgraded." msgid_plural "%s packages are going to be upgraded." "You have to download a total of %s. " The %s indicates that a string will be substituted, so the french translators assumed this was going to be substituted with actual package names, while it's actually only a count of packages of each type. Using %d instead of %s would have avoided that mistake. ** Affects: update-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Untriaged Status: Unconfirmed -- Use of %s instead of %d led to translator confusion https://launchpad.net/bugs/60239 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
