Messages need to be changed for proper translation
Status in Ubiquity:
New
Status in Ubuntu Translations:

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Binary package hint: ubiquity
Strings affected:
https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+source/ubiquity/+pots/ubiquity-debconf/de/9/+translate

Since the grammatical gender of ${MEDIUM} differs depending on the
medium, a proper translation into German (and most probably also all
other languages with different grammatical genders) is currently
impossible. Our "solution" was to provide two alternatives for the
pronoun, as you see, but this looks very ugly and has already been
reported by several users.
For a proper translation, we’d need one translatable string per
medium.
