Title:
  german manpage dpkg: too much translation (packet state names)

Status in Ubuntu Translations:
  Triaged
Status in “dpkg” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: dpkg

  In the manpage dpkg(1) on german Kubuntu 9.04, there is a section
  "INFORMATIONEN ÜBER PAKETE"
  english: Informations about packets.
  There are the possible states of packets described. The state names are (nearly all) translated to german.
  While it is nice to have a german translation of the description of these state names, I think it makes no sense to translate the names themselve, because these are keywords used in e.g. the file /var/lib/dpkg/status.
  There are for example the state names:
   * nicht-installiert
    I think this should be not-installed
   * Config-Dateien
    maybe config-files
   * halb-installiert
    partly-installed or half-installed ?
  and so on...
