Hi Biff et al,

Of all the files that are installed in /usr/share/polkit-1/actions, when wattOS R8 LXDE 32-bit is installed, only the files org.freedesktop.NetworkManager.policy and org.opensuse.cupspkhelper.mechanism.policy come anywhere close to providing an adequate and consistently applied range of translations.

I can provide Spanish translations where necessary.

Am I correct in surmising that this should be the responsibility of the people who maintain each package?

Thanks, Michael.

Hi Ron, Blaze et al,

I'm still working on fixing the translation problems I have encountered. I've found a lot more.  :(

But for now, the org.debian.apt.policy file has the following Action.

Code: [Select]
<action id="org.debian.apt.clean">
  <description>Remove downloaded package files</description>
  <message>To clean downloaded package files, you need to authenticate.</message>
The Description says Remove and the Message says Clean. Shouldn't they be the same and what is Clean supposed to mean anyway if that is the correct expression to be used or should the Action really have been named as <action id="org.debian.apt.remove">?

Here's another one from the org.freedesktop.consolekit.policy file.

Code: [Select]
<action id="org.freedesktop.consolekit.system.stop">
  <description>Stop the system</description>
  <message>System policy prevents stopping the system</message>
What does "stopping the system" mean exactly with regards to ConsoleKit?

Thanks, Michael.
