could you also ask your translation team to give the official translation.
At least in french, repository is not easy to translate. The very same word exists but is completely obsolete (repositoire - meaning the place where you store dead human corpse to family last visit :-()).
http://fr.opensuse.org/Glossaire_d'équivalences_entre_l'anglais_et_le_français
the best word seems to be "dépôt", but "Réserve" may be better. Package repository gives "Réserve de paquetages", "Dépôt de paquetages" (paquetage is very odd in french, but most used anyway)
Karl, could you talk with our translation teams, please? It might make sense to leave it untranslated - but that seems to be bad for french:-( Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, Director Platform / openSUSE, aj@suse.de SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-doc+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-doc+help@opensuse.org
Anne, there might be some difficulty - iTerm is Novell only, isn't it? So there is no way jdd could access it and comment on things he finds in there. Cheers, Jana On Mon, 9 Jul 2007, Anne Mc Cluskey wrote:

I was already redirected time ago to a Novell tool. ATM this was no as usefull as one could expect. Anyway I don't look for a personal solution (I know I can have one), but for open solution (IE wiki). Only very few words gives really problems (and this one is one of the most ugly to french translation) jdd (back from hollidays :-) -- http://www.dodin.net http://gourmandises.orangeblog.fr/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-doc+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-doc+help@opensuse.org
