Title:
  Messages need to be changed for proper translation

  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.
