Choosing A Webhost:
A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to provide their own website accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center, called colocation. more...

Poor french translation: msg#00047

web.wget.general

Subject: Poor french translation

This is a copy of a bug-report I just sent to Debian bug reporting system,
I believe it requires some changes in wget source, so I'm sending it again
here :-)
I am not subscribed to any wget-related mailing-list, please Cc: me if you
reply to this.




##########
Package: wget
Version: 1.8.2-9
Severity: minor

export LANG=fr_FR@euro

When I run "wget -c -v" followed by any URL, one line displayed during
download looks like:
Longueur: <file_size> (non autorisée)
as a translation of
Length: <file_size> (unauthoritative)

Translation of "length" into french was set to "longueur" which is a poor
translation. I believe a better translation would be "Taille" which is
much more suitable in french when talking about a file.("Longueur" is a
good translation for "length" when dealing with objectsphysical
dimensions, ie when measuring object with a ruler).Translation of
"unauthoritative" (when displaying file size) into frenchis incorrect : it was
set to "non autorisée" which actually means "not
authorized", and makes that display a total non-sense. I suggest the
french version be changed into "non averée" or "sans certitude".
