Dear maintainers


Recently I made an improved Dutch translation of the messages in
unattended-upgrades.pot. It was submitted for inclusion in
unattended-upgrades on 7 July 2018.

During my translation, it appeared to me that many messages in
unattended-upgrades.pot are poor. This related mostly to poor
English, but also to other aspects, such as ambiguity and vagueness.

Therefore, I created a 'translation' of all messages in
proper English. The 'translation' also contains comments that briefly
point out both the language errors and the shortcomings in the
messages.

I have attached my 'translation' to this bug report.

Please study the attachment and then make corrections to your source
code. When you have generated a new pot-file, you may ask the English
translation team to proofread it.


With kind regards

Maarten
Member of the Dutch translation team of Debian

Hi Maarten.

<Maarten@posteo.de> ezt írta (időpont: 2018. júl. 13., P, 22:40):

Thank you for bringing up the issue and also for providing the patch.
I have to agree that the messages are not grammatically correct in many cases.

Regarding the patch I noticed that while the messages became
grammatically correct, in some cases their meaning drifted away from
what the original meaning intended to be.
Could you please provide your fixes as a PR on GitHub to make it
easier to discuss the changes separately?

Thanks,
Balint
