Hello list,
i would like to suggest a change in german i18n of GnuPG.
When you generate a new key with --gen-key you pass some steps including the
type of key, keylength and expiry. after that you confirm and then you are
asked for your real name.
the german translation provides an example regarding the real name, and the
example shows a user name between quotes. this is confusing and leads people
to type their name with quotes...
here is the german output of gpg:
[snip]
tr@o2:~> gpg --gen-key
... [cut some things]...
Sie benötigen eine User-ID, um Ihren Schlüssel eindeutig zu machen; das
Programm baut diese User-ID aus Ihrem echten Namen, einem Kommentar und
Ihrer E-Mail-Adresse in dieser Form auf:
"Heinrich Heine (Der Dichter) <heinrichh@duesseldorf.de>"
Ihr Name ("Vorname Nachname"):
[snap]
notice the quotes at "Vorname Nachname".
original version of gpg only says:
[snip]
You need a User-ID to identify your key; the software constructs the user id
from Real Name, Comment and Email Address in this form:
"Heinrich Heine (Der Dichter) <heinrichh@duesseldorf.de>"
Real name:
[snap]
which looks more correct to me.
kind regards,
Thomas Reitelbach
ps: please include me in CC, i'm not a regular reader herein.
