Comment 3 for bug 811489

Thanks Milo for the explanation.

I reported this issue in the first place because the question arose on a local LUG mailing list, so I still think that somehow the problem is there.

After reading your explanation two things seem clear to me:
1. the problem exists, because the italian team chose the lesser of two evils when they decided what to use as "open source" translation (namely they left it as it was). I suspect other translation teams faced the same problem.
2. the problem cannot be solved by the italian team, because the same string is used for other situations where it needs different translations. I think this problem is then a design flaw of Ubuntu Software Center in the way strings are used around the UI.

For those reasons I think the bug should be reopened and assigned back to USC.

Ciao
Lucio.
