Bug Description

Binary package hint: liferea

The program (liferea) was badly translated inducing a error on entering a command line parameters. The argument for the '-w' was translated hidden = oculto / shown = exibido / iconified = iconificado. When you read the help using the -h parameter you get a list of translated option and using then don't work because internally the program expects for the english version.

From my computer, if I type in: liferea -h for showing the help (in portugese) I got:

Opções de aplicativo:
  -w, --mainwindow-state=ESTADO Iniciar o Liferea com a sua janela principal em ESTADO. ESTADO pode ser `exibido', `iconificado', ou `oculto'

And after unsetting the LANG environment I got:

Application Options:
  -w, --mainwindow-state=STATE Start Liferea with its main window in STATE. STATE may be `shown', `iconified', or `hidden'

I suggest change the translating to keep the english words maybe with some indication on the translated language below.

regards,

marcelo
