[Bug 980528] Re: Inconsistent wording in messages from fsck

[Steve Langasek]

Ok.  Turns out this is due to a partial en_GB "translation" in
/usr/share/locale-langpack/en_GB/LC_MESSAGES/mountall.mo.

I've confirmed that the mountall.pot translation template in launchpad
is up-to-date, so this is a translation issue, not a bug in mountall.
It appears that the translations given in the en_GB translation are
inconsistent - with 'disc' used as a spelling in only one of the
translations and 'disk' used in the others.  Someone will need to update
the translations to make this consistent.

David, what's the right way to escalate this issue to the en_GB
translators?  I don't think I'm qualified to say which spelling should
be used here, but it does need to be made consistent.

Title:
  Inconsistent wording in messages from fsck

Status in “mountall” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When the mountall/plymouth process runs fsck during boot the wording
  is inconsistent. The messages displayed are as follows

    Checking disk drives for errors. This may take several minutes.

    Checking disc 1 of 1 (n% complete)

    Press C to cancel all checks in progress

  The first and third messages come from mountall, not sure where the
  second one comes from as it isn't in the mountall source, possibly
  fsck itself. Anyway one message uses disk and one uses disc, they
  should either both use the same spelling or the work disk should be
  removed entirely.
