Grammar error in weak password dialogue

[Ash Furrow]

During installation, I got an error when using a short password "The password you have chosen has less than 8 characters. This is considered weak." This should read "... you have chosen has fewer than 8 characters."

Ash,

Thanks for reporting this bug. I'm not sure it is a translations bug unless you are using an English locale other than US.

* Are you still experiencing the problem?
* Where exactly do you see that message?
* What locale are you using (i.e. which language is your system in)?

Hello,

The issue is during installation, so I can't reproduce. It is the screen
asking for user information (specifically, the password). The issue is when
the password length is fewer than 8 characters long. My machine is in
English. I suppose it's more of a grammatical thing, but I thought someone
ought to know.

Thanks,
Ash

This is not a translation bug, but rather an Ubiquity one.

Hi Mohamed,
We use ubuntu-translations to track bugs that related to Ubuntu's translation, hence please don't mark bugs invalid if triaged. Now I am changing the status back to New.

Thanks Aron and Mohamed for looking into this.

Re-reading the last reply from Ash, and considering he's using English, I think this is more like a proposal for a change of wording of the original English string, so I think it's nothing that can be fixed in translations.

For this particular case, I think we can mark the translations task as Invalid.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner. There have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time you reported the bug and your problem may have been fixed with some of the updates. It would help us a lot if you could test it on a currently supported Ubuntu version. When you test it and it is still an issue, kindly upload the updated logs by running only once:
apport-collect 554212

and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue.
