We're using the right expression "Low German" or "German, Low" on gnome.org and launchpad also as you can see here: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://l10n.gnome.org/teams/nds">http://l10n.gnome.org/teams/nds</a> and here: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://launchpad.net/~lp-l10n-nds">https://launchpad.net/~lp-l10n-nds</a> or here: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://nds.sourceforge.net/en.html">http://nds.sourceforge.net/en.html</a> Its just, because it is the right translation and in there were some misunderstandings in the past with the phrase "Saxon" (for the German "Sächsisch"), which is in deed not a language but simply a German dialect, located in the east of Germany. (as you know as a German :-) ) And with "Saxon" (Sächsisch), Low German (Niederdeutsch / nds) has nothing to do! I have attached a screenshot of the related parts and underlined what I found. But this concern all nds-packs on ubuntu.com.

This is an "update package" which are empty by design for a final release.

Translated into German, "Low Saxon" would mean "Niedersächsisch", but that is completely wrong, because the language is called "Niederdeutsch" correctly, what in English means "Low German"! </pre> </blockquote> <pre wrap=""> Where is that displayed? We can easily fix the package descriptions, but I guess those are the least concern?
