Description J.P. van de Giessen 2015-12-21 08:46:04 UTC
During update of installation I get the message "Bestanden worden verwijderd" (Files are deleted).

From several users I heard the remark the thought ALL files on their PC where deleted. To avoid confusion, I suggest to change this message in "Bestanden vorige installatie worden verwijderd" (Files previous installation are deleted).

Thanks JP for filing the issue and the suggestion!

When I look at Pootle, the source for translation, I see this

https://translations.documentfoundation.org/nl/translate/#search=Bestanden%20worden%20verwijderd&sfields=source,target,notes&soptions=exact
ActionTe.ulf OOO_ACTIONTEXT_73 LngText.text 
Source text "Removing files"

I think your suggestion to change the source to
 -  "Files previous installation are deleted" is OK.
Alternatively
 -  "Removing old/unused files"
or
 -  "Removing files from previous installation"

vr. groeten,
Cor

+1, I like this one.

Feel free to propose a patch, it’s just a trivial string change. Use opengrok.libreoffice.org to find it.
