[Bug localedata/27955] New: Czech translation of EAI_ADDRFAMILY error misleading

            Bug ID: 27955
           Summary: Czech translation of EAI_ADDRFAMILY error misleading
           Product: glibc
           Version: unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: localedata
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: ondrej at caletka dot cz
                CC: libc-locales at sourceware dot org
  Target Milestone: ---

The Czech translation of getaddrinfo error EAI_ADDRFAILY  "Address family for
hostname not supported" translates to "Třída adres není podporována". This
omits the "for hostname" part of the original sentence which makes it hard to
understand the issue. It sounds like the address family is not supported by the
OS at all.

I propose to rephrase it as "Třída adres není pro dané jméno počítače
podporována". This is in line with the translation of the word "hostname" in
other EAI errors.

The translations for glibc are provided by the Translation Project teams
working on the various languages.

https://translationproject.org/domain/libc.html

Could you please follow up with the team there and see if there is anything we
can do to include an updated translation in the future?

For glibc 2.34 releasing in August we could update the translation.
