[bug #56820] Translation issue

[Bernhard Voelker]

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #56820 (project findutils):

Thanks for the report.

Translation issues are handled in general by the translation project [1], but
it seems that also the current German translation
is confusing at least.

I think this stems from the confusing mix of the terms options, arguments,
non-positional, etc. which users (and maybe also
translators?) cannot classify properly.

What about a changed diagnostic as in the attached patch?


$ find .. -type f -maxdepth 1 -exec grep -Hin rasoir {} \;
find: warning: you have specified the global option -maxdepth after the
argument -type, but global options are not positional, i.e., -maxdepth affects
tests specified before it as well as those specified after it.  Please specify
global options before other arguments.
