[ Description ]

Some German strings were accidentally translated under en_GB. They affect the default Ubuntu install - some of them are strings which are displayed as a notification some time after first logging in, so it's quite visible. See the attached screenshot.

[ Fix ]

Revert the German and go back to the proper English text. The way to fix langpacks is to upload the language-pack-gnome-XX package which replaces files in language-pack-gnome-XX-base.

[ Devel release ]

I'd like to propose to binary copy forward, and let the normal langpack release schedule take care of eventually dominating these away in impish.

[ QA ]

To verify the diff, compare deja-dup.po from language-pack-gnome-en-base to the one in this upload. You'll have to do that manually.

  0. Be in en_GB.
  1. Install the SRU
  2. In an Ubuntu Desktop session, open a terminal and run `deja-dup --prompt`.
  3. Note the buttons in the notification that shows up. They should be in English.

[ What could go wrong ]

1. I could have missed some strings, and so there might still be some Deutsch around
2. There could be other instances of this in different packages we haven't noticed yet
3. If I break the .po file, it could either break the build or the translations at runtime (but this is English, so if we fall back to C it's not too bad)
