  Hi,

  When using apt with the command line, in French, the Summary line before confirmation is wrongly formatted.
Example:
With LC_ALL=C:
Summary:
  Upgrading: 0, Installing: 0, Removing: 51, Not Upgrading: 0
  Freed space: 519 MB
With locale fr_FR.utf8
Sommaire :
  Mise à niveau de : 0. Installation de : 0Supprimé : 51. Non mis à jour : 0
  Espace libéré : 519 MB

I would expect something like:
Résumé :
  Mise à niveau : 0, Installation : 0, Supprimés : 51, Non mis à jour : 0

i.e.:
- wrong translation (Summary -> Sommaire)
- strange translation (Upgrading: -> Mise à niveau *de* :, ...)
- strange formatting (point after numbers instead of comma, no space before "Supprimé")
- grammatical error (plural for Supprimé when needed, probably the same for other. I did not check)

  Is there a l10n team that handle these kind of bugs? Do you want I dig into the sources to see if I can produce a patch?

  Regards,
    Vincent

Yes, on the Debian l10n French mailing list, I am CCing them.
Note this list use tags to label thread topics, here [H-S] (hors sujet,
that is not a translation review per se but general discussion) and
apt://po/fr.po to tell which file the translation is about.

Cheers,
Alban

   Hi,

   My bug report ( https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1106222 )
shows several glitches still being present in the APT French translation
with APT 3.0.1

   Regards,
     Vincent

The problem is also discussed on the debian-l10n-french mailing list at
https://lists.debian.org/debian-l10n-french/2025/05/msg00066.html but is
not yet fixed in salsa repository.

https://salsa.debian.org/apt-team/apt/-/blob/main/po/fr.po#L2510

Should someone create a merge request?

Bye

Sorry bubu send me a reply that explained his rationale but only to me,
not the deian-fr ML and I tried to find out how to forward it to the ML
while keeping it in the proper thread but failed. So I ended up sending
the MR without this message to point to, but only today.


Mind when you reply to a bug report number only the maintainer receive
it. One have to CC everyone explicitly.

But, please also reply to the other requests from the bug reporter,
that is:

     When using apt with the command line, in French, the Summary line
   before confirmation is wrongly formatted.
   Example:
   With LC_ALL=C:
   Summary:
     Upgrading: 0, Installing: 0, Removing: 51, Not Upgrading: 0
     Freed space: 519 MB
   With locale fr_FR.utf8
   Sommaire :
     Mise à niveau de : 0. Installation de : 0Supprimé : 51. Non mis à
   jour : 0
     Espace libéré : 519 MB

   I would expect something like:
   Résumé :
     Mise à niveau : 0, Installation : 0, Supprimés : 51, Non mis à jour :
   0

   i.e.:
   - wrong translation (Summary -> Sommaire)
   - strange translation (Upgrading: -> Mise à niveau *de* :, ...)
   - strange formatting (point after numbers instead of comma, no space
   before "Supprimé")
   - grammatical error (plural for Supprimé when needed, probably the same
   for other. I did not check)


I believe that out of the missing spaces every other items are already
fine, but I am not qualified enough to answer the reporter why.
(that is why point instead of the English commas, why Supprimé is not
plural when more than one, why Upgrading becomes "Mise à niveau de ")

About Summary > Sommaire I don't understand the issue. The French
translation is already Sommaire (and LC_ALL=C is supposed to be Summary
that is English).

Cheers,
Alban
