It does not make the packages easier to search if you choose name and description.

PCLinuxOS is a English language distribution. So I am asking You what is the point of German descriptions? I would understand German
language descriptions in the de-DE files for adding localization but not in the other packages.

This is annoying / not helpful.

Andy,
Descriptions are in English here.
Descriptions in German appear when the system is localized to German.
Systems localized to Polish should have Polish descriptions. I do not know
why it should be in German, but I will see if I can find out.

My system is in English. I have German descriptions. Not all of them - just some like the one's mentioned below. Rafih's system is in
Polish and he sees some of the descriptions in German too.

Search the packages for the expressions like der / die / das. Some of them will be in English but some of them will be in German. It's
not helping during the search process.

The SPECs for those packages have the "-l de" missed off the German
description.

Example:
----------------------------------------------
%description help
This package help files for the %name package.

#german
%description help
Beinhaltet die Hilfedateien f r das %name Paket.
-------------------------------------------------

should be:

------------------------------------------------
%description help
This package help files for the %name package.

#german
%description help -l de
Beinhaltet die Hilfedateien f r das %name Paket.
-------------------------------------------------

Terry.
