Incorrect German translation of Ctrl+Alt+Backspace in xkeyboard-config in 9.10

[ManuelEberl]

Binary package hint: xkeyboard-config

In the German version of Ubuntu 9.10, both the KDE and Gnome version of the keyboard settings dialogue have an incorrect translation of Ctrl+Alt+Backspace in the option to enable a key combination to kill the X server. When enabled, Ctrl+Alt+Backspace does kill the X server, however, in the translation, it says Strg+Alt+Entf (which is Ctrl+Alt+Del in English).
This is due to an incorrect translation in xkeyboard-config.

The installed version of xkb-data is 1.6-1ubuntu5.

I attached a patch for this which translates "Backspace" as "Rücktaste". The file that has to be patched is po/de.po in the package xkeyboard-config.

There's an error in the first patch posted by me. This patch is tested and it works.

Bug confirmed, patch seems correct.

This appears to be fixed already in the version we have in Lucid. The translation upstream selected was:

#: ../rules/base.xml.in.h:164
msgid "Control + Alt + Backspace"
msgstr "Strg + Alt + Löschtaste"

This is not a serious enough issue to warrant an SRU to karmic so guess we can consider this issue resolved now.
