Well, it's better if in the Launchpad report you state fully and completely what the problem is instead of referring them to this bug. Don't make people click; give all the information in the bug report itself.

I have now forwarded this issue to Launchpad: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nano/+bug/1464848

Strange: none of the German PO files at the TP has the 2015-01-19 date -- see http://translationproject.org/domain/nano.html .

But... Ubuntu has its own translation teams, who can update things, but don't always do that. However, the pre3 and pre4 for the 2.4 series were released in February and March, so only since then the changed strings were getting retranslated at the TP and found their way into nano itself.

Anyway, if you have problems with a development version of a distro, please report your bugs to that distro. They should be the first to know.

I hadn't installed locate before your request so maybe this explains why I'm getting no output. Using find results in this:

root@ubuntu:~# find / | grep nano.mo
/usr/share/locale-langpack/de/LC_MESSAGES/nano.mo

Checking this file shows the line "PO-Revision-Date: 2015-01-19 20:56+0000\n".

Ah, you're running a development version of Ubuntu. That explains it: they've updated many packages, but have not yet adapted their 'language-packs' -- Ubuntu doesn't include the translations with each package itself.

That 'locate nano.mo | grep de' does not produce any output must mean you don't have locate installed or don't run the updatedb program. Because you must have a nano.mo on your system, otherwise you wouldn't get any translations at all.

Your nano.mo is probably here: /usr/share/locale-langpack/de/LC_MESSAGES/nano.mo. If you run 'msgunfmt /usr/share/locale-langpack/de/LC_MESSAGES/nano.mo | less' you will probably see that the PO-Revision-Date is far older than the release date of 2.4.1.

If I'm making a more detailed look at nano I'm seeing a few another untranslated strings too on the command block ("Write Out", "Uncut Text", "To Bracket") but the rest seems to be translated. Here is the output of locale:

sworddragon@ubuntu:~$ locale
LANG=de_DE.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=
LC_CTYPE="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_NAME="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_ADDRESS="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_TELEPHONE="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_MEASUREMENT="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_IDENTIFICATION="de_DE.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=

"locate nano.mo | grep de" doesn't show anything and the version is from the Ubuntu repository (15.10 dev).

You mean that just that one phrase is not tranlated into German but all the rest of nano is? If so, what is the output of the terminal command 'locale'? And what does the twin command 'locate nano.mo | grep de' say? How did you get 2.4.1? From your distro, or did you compile and install it yourself? As far as I can tell, de.po in nano is fully translated; nano in a German locale should not show any English messages.

I'm using nano 2.4.1 and on starting it I'm getting an error message because I haven't permissions for ~/.nano/search_history. But the next line contains the untranslated text "Press Enter to continue".
