This is the instruction that appears on the screen when you download the xi810 package using yast:

I guess it's clear enough what one is supposed to do, but this is _not_ English.
Whoops. Fixed :) Please send these kind of observations to feedback@suse.de as well, so we can properly take care of it!
aMy son-in-law, who is a professional translator from the Russian, tells me that the cardinal rule of translation is this: professional translation should be done by native speakers of the language being translated into. It is only too obvious that the English versions of SuSE documentation (the manual, etc.) are being prepared by native speakers of German who are less than thoroughly conversant with English idioms. I complained about this over a year ago and was assured that the problem was being taken care of.
Well, it indeed is. We have now native speakers doing the english manual.
Apparently not, since German locutions and word orders and even literal German words are liberally sprinkled throughout the manual.
In 6.3 as well? Please tell us about it at feedback@suse.de Thank you!
