Bug Description

In the Danish translation of the update description pop-out window of update-notifier it caught my eye (I use English locale on my own systems) that when looking at the details of a package that is to be updated the name of the package is appended with a string to form a compound noun making it hard to identify the actual package name.

Example from the attached screenshot:

"Ændringer for gnome-session-common-versioner:
Installeret version: 3.18.1.2-1ubuntu1
Tilgængelig version: 3.18.1.2-1ubuntu1.16.04.1"

I would prefer a translation of the first line where the package name is standing out unambiguously, such as:

"Ændringer for gnome-session-common mellem versionerne:"
(in English "Changes for gnome-session-common between the versions:")

Or if it needs to be short, completely leaving out mentioning "version" as it is quite clear from the following lines that we are dealing with a version diff.

"Ændringer for gnome-session-common:"

I have unsuccessfully tried to identify the translation string in the update-notifier codebase (http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-core-dev/update-notifier/ubuntu/) but I guess the change description is generated by apt and thus can be found in some codebase related to it.

This is a screenshot of update-manager, not update-notifier. Perhaps that will help you find the correct string!

Hi Steve.
Ahh thanks, not always easy when the naming of GUI stuff diverges from the apt package names. Am also annoyed by update-manager not showing the package name prominently. Finding that is usually the reason for me to open the changelog.
The right package did the trick; https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/xenial/+source/update-manager/+pots/update-manager/da/64/+translate

Proposed text "Ændringer for %s mellem versionerne:" which has been reviewed: https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/xenial/+source/update-manager/+pots/update-manager/da/64/+translate

Haven't been able to confirm whether it is released as of yet.
