A patch for most of these issues is coming up. Karel, would there be time for an rc3? It wouldn't need to delay things much: giving translators three or four days to update their translations for these small changes should be enough.
#: misc-utils/lsblk.c:236 msgid "write same max bytes, use <number> if --bytes is given"There are multiple messages ending with "use <number> if --bytes is given". I found the ", use" clause clumsy. Especially the reference to "<number>". I know it refers to an argument of the --bytes option, but it can be difficult for users to realize it. [...]
If I read things correctly, the --bytes option takes no argument. So to me the msgid makes zero sense. :/
I propose rephrasing it as "write-same max bytes, respect --bytes format". Or "write same max bytes, respects --bytes format".
What does "same" refer to? "respects the --bytes option" would be a good wording. (As I don't understand what these descriptions are saying, I have not touched them in my patch.)
#: sys-utils/chcpu.c:208 #, c-format msgid "CPU %u configure failed""configure" should be "configuration".
Hm. I think that this "configure" (and "deconfigure" further down) refers to the --configure (and --deconfigure) "command". So my patch doesn't change those. Benno
