Bug Description
Atop the list of updates including apps and Ubuntu itself is this big red button.
The button says „5 Aktualisierungen werden installiert…“ which translates to '5 updates are being installed…'. And as I discovered from bug 1333668 this is a mistranslation. It should say 'Install 3 updates' which might be something like „3 Aktualisierungen installieren“.
The passive tense as well as the trailing … are clearly misdirecting the user to wait for something that's not going to happen when in fact they should be seeing an imperative. I'd appreciate if this can be corrected soon, it's really confusing and I only figured out what was wrong after a few updates.

I was pointed to the place to suggest a better translation in IRC, so I'm closing this report myself.
