Bug Description

Binary package hint: ubiquity

In the first screen of the graphical installer in Hardy Alpha 5, there's a typo in the german version: it reads "Standardspache" when it should read "Standardsprache". I didn't find a translation section for ubiquity, and IIRC the mistake has been there for some years already, so here's finally a bug report.

Reassigning back to ubiquity where this belongs. (I'm not quite sure why it got moved to debconf. Perhaps that was a typo for debian-installer, but that's only where the translation lives in Launchpad for slightly arcane reasons; ubiquity is still the package that ships it.)

In future, filing bugs on packages is not the best way to get translation bugs fixed; package maintainers typically do not have the necessary access to do anything about them on a permanent basis. We update translations from Launchpad routinely and will pick up changes made there..

I've mailed the translators-de mailing list to try to nudge this in in time for 8.04.

This bug was fixed in the package ubiquity - 1.8.5

---------------
ubiquity (1.8.5) hardy; urgency=low

  [ Evan Dandrea ]
  * Move the map when the cursor is near an edge instead of whenever the
    cursor moves (LP: #214989, #195159).
  * Various fixes to the new tzmap. Thanks Colin Watson.
    - Wait half a second before zooming in.
    - Zoom in from the position of the mouse, rather than the top left
      corner.
    - Widen the hover-to-move areas.
    - Find the closest hotspot if there are several nearby.
    - Zoom to 4.5x.
  * Removed 12system_partitions_formatted. It now lives in partman-target.
  * Automatic update of included source packages: console-setup
    1.21ubuntu7, partman-target 54ubuntu6.

  [ Mario Limonciello ]
  * Default the MythTV theme to the newly changed Mythbuntu-8.04 theme
    to prevent upgrade crashes. (LP: #215036)

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Allow diagonal scrolling in timezone map.
  * Update translations from Launchpad.
  * Fix typo in German welcome message (LP: #195075). This needs to be fixed
    in Launchpad or it *will* regress, but this will at least paper over it
    for 8.04.
  * Set OVERRIDE_ALLOW_PRESEEDING=1 while calling console-setup to force it
    to allow preseeding (LP: #188492).
