.#gpg.edit_ownertrust.value

fixme: Please translate and remove the hash mark from the key line.

It's up to you to assign a value here; this value will never be exported to any 3rd party. We need it to implement the web-of-trust; it has nothing to do with the (implicitly created) web-of-certificates. .

.#gpg.edit_ownertrust.set_ultimate.okay

fixme: Please translate and remove the hash mark from the key line.

To build the Web-of-Trust, GnuPG needs to know which keys are ultimately trusted - those are usually the keys for which you have access to the secret key. Answer "yes" to set this key to ultimately trusted

.

.#gpg.untrusted_key.override

fixme: Please translate and remove the hash mark from the key line.

If you want to use this untrusted key anyway, answer "yes". .

.#gpg.pklist.user_id.enter

fixme: Please translate and remove the hash mark from the key line.

Enter the user ID of the addressee to whom you want to send the message. .

.#gpg.keygen.algo

fixme: Please translate and remove the hash mark from the key line.

Select the algorithm to use.

DSA (aka DSS) is the Digital Signature Algorithm and can only be used for signatures.

Elgamal is an encrypt-only algorithm.

RSA may be used for signatures or encryption.

The first (primary) key must always be a key which is capable of signing. .

.#gpg.keygen.algo.rsa_se

fixme: Please translate and remove the hash mark from the key line.

In general it is not a good idea to use the same key for signing and encryption. This algorithm should only be used in certain domains. Please consult your security expert first. .

.#gpg.keygen.size

fixme: Please translate and remove the hash mark from the key line.

Enter the size of the key .

.#gpg.keygen.size.huge.okay

fixme: Please translate and remove the hash mark from the key line.

Answer "yes" or "no" .

.#gpg.keygen.size.large.okay

fixme: Please translate and remove the hash mark from the key line.

Answer "yes" or "no" .

.#gpg.keygen.valid

fixme: Please translate and remove the hash mark from the key line.

Enter the required value as shown in the prompt. It is possible to enter a ISO date (YYYY-MM-DD) but you won't get a good error response - instead the system tries to interpret the given value as an interval. .

.#gpg.keygen.valid.okay

fixme: Please translate and remove the hash mark from the key line.

Answer "yes" or "no" .

.#gpg.keygen.name

fixme: Please translate and remove the hash mark from the key line.

Enter the name of the key holder .

.#gpg.keygen.email

fixme: Please translate and remove the hash mark from the key line.

please enter an optional but highly suggested email address .

.#gpg.keygen.comment

fixme: Please translate and remove the hash mark from the key line.

Please enter an optional comment .

.#gpg.keygen.userid.cmd

fixme: Please translate and remove the hash mark from the key line.

N to change the name. C to change the comment. E to change the email address. O to continue with key generation. Q to to quit the key generation. .

.#gpg.keygen.sub.okay

fixme: Please translate and remove the hash mark from the key line.

Answer "yes" (or just "y") if it is okay to generate the sub key. .

.#gpg.sign_uid.okay

fixme: Please translate and remove the hash mark from the key line.

Answer "yes" or "no" .

.#gpg.sign_uid.class

fixme: Please translate and remove the hash mark from the key line.

When you sign a user ID on a key, you should first verify that the key belongs to the person named in the user ID. It is useful for others to know how carefully you verified this.

"0" means you make no particular claim as to how carefully you verified the key.

"1" means you believe the key is owned by the person who claims to own it but you could not, or did not verify the key at all. This is useful for a "persona" verification, where you sign the key of a pseudonymous user.

"2" means you did casual verification of the key. For example, this could mean that you verified the key fingerprint and checked the user ID on the key against a photo ID.

"3" means you did extensive verification of the key. For example, this could mean that you verified the key fingerprint with the owner of the key in person, and that you checked, by means of a hard to forge document with a photo ID (such as a passport) that the name of the key owner matches the name in the user ID on the key, and finally that you verified (by exchange of email) that the email address on the key belongs to the key owner.

Note that the examples given above for levels 2 and 3 are only examples. In the end, it is up to you to decide just what "casual" and "extensive" mean to you when you sign other keys.

If you don't know what the right answer is, answer "0". .

.#gpg.change_passwd.empty.okay

fixme: Please translate and remove the hash mark from the key line.

Answer "yes" or "no" .

.#gpg.keyedit.save.okay

fixme: Please translate and remove the hash mark from the key line.

Answer "yes" or "no" .

.#gpg.keyedit.cancel.okay

fixme: Please translate and remove the hash mark from the key line.

Answer "yes" or "no" .

.#gpg.keyedit.sign_all.okay

fixme: Please translate and remove the hash mark from the key line.

Answer "yes" if you want to sign ALL the user IDs .

.#gpg.keyedit.remove.uid.okay

fixme: Please translate and remove the hash mark from the key line.

Answer "yes" if you really want to delete this user ID. All certificates are then also lost! .

.#gpg.keyedit.remove.subkey.okay

fixme: Please translate and remove the hash mark from the key line.

Answer "yes" if it is okay to delete the subkey .

.#gpg.keyedit.delsig.valid

fixme: Please translate and remove the hash mark from the key line.

This is a valid signature on the key; you normally don't want to delete this signature because it may be important to establish a trust connection to the key or another key certified by this key. .

.#gpg.keyedit.delsig.unknown

fixme: Please translate and remove the hash mark from the key line.

This signature can't be checked because you don't have the corresponding key. You should postpone its deletion until you know which key was used because this signing key might establish a trust connection through another already certified key. .

.#gpg.keyedit.delsig.invalid

fixme: Please translate and remove the hash mark from the key line.

The signature is not valid. It does make sense to remove it from your keyring. .

.#gpg.keyedit.delsig.selfsig

fixme: Please translate and remove the hash mark from the key line.

This is a signature which binds the user ID to the key. It is usually not a good idea to remove such a signature. Actually GnuPG might not be able to use this key anymore. So do this only if this self-signature is for some reason not valid and a second one is available. .

.#gpg.keyedit.updpref.okay

fixme: Please translate and remove the hash mark from the key line.

Change the preferences of all user IDs (or just of the selected ones) to the current list of preferences. The timestamp of all affected self-signatures will be advanced by one second.

.

.#gpg.passphrase.enter

fixme: Please translate and remove the hash mark from the key line.

Please enter the passphrase; this is a secret sentence

.

.#gpg.passphrase.repeat

fixme: Please translate and remove the hash mark from the key line.

Please repeat the last passphrase, so you are sure what you typed in. .

.#gpg.detached_signature.filename

fixme: Please translate and remove the hash mark from the key line.

Give the name of the file to which the signature applies .

.#gpg.openfile.overwrite.okay

fixme: Please translate and remove the hash mark from the key line.

Answer "yes" if it is okay to overwrite the file .

.#gpg.openfile.askoutname

fixme: Please translate and remove the hash mark from the key line.

Please enter a new filename. If you just hit RETURN the default file (which is shown in brackets) will be used. .

.#gpg.ask_revocation_reason.code

fixme: Please translate and remove the hash mark from the key line.

You should specify a reason for the certification. Depending on the context you have the ability to choose from this list: "Key has been compromised" Use this if you have a reason to believe that unauthorized persons got access to your secret key. "Key is superseded" Use this if you have replaced this key with a newer one. "Key is no longer used" Use this if you have retired this key. "User ID is no longer valid" Use this to state that the user ID should not longer be used; this is normally used to mark an email address invalid.

.

.#gpg.ask_revocation_reason.text

fixme: Please translate and remove the hash mark from the key line.

If you like, you can enter a text describing why you issue this revocation certificate. Please keep this text concise. An empty line ends the text.
