Title:
  "Authentication to write a new APT configuration" is geeky

Status in “software-properties” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  software-properties-gtk 0.81.8, Ubuntu Ocelot

  1. In "Software Sources", check or uncheck any of the checkboxes.

  What happens: An alert appears saying "Authentication to write a new
  APT configuration".

  What should happen: The alert should use less jargon. aptdaemon
  already has a less geeky string for this exact purpose: "To change
  software repository settings, you need to authenticate."
