Typo in /usr/lib/tcltk/linuxcnc/msgs/de.msg - Positionssfehler

[Eckeneckepen]

Here are the steps I follow to reproduce the issue:

1. Produce a joint following error in german environment

This is what I expected to happen:

So15 14:12: Motor 2 Positionsfehler

Ideally, to get better search results, the error message would be repeated in english:
So15 14:12: Motor 2 Positionsfehler (joint 2 following error)

This is what happened instead:

So15 14:12: Motor 2 Positionssfehler

It worked properly before this:

n/a

Information about my hardware and software:

linuxcnc 2.9.3

Typo is in linuxcnc/src/po/de.po:2653:

#: src/emc/motion/control.c:838
#, c-format
msgid "joint %d following error"
msgstr "Motor %d Positionssfehler"

Thanks for pointing out that.
If we change translations in 2.9 it can cause conflicts with our translation system we use for the master (development) branch: https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/linuxcnc/.

So those small changes we would only fix in master for the next major release (2.10).

You can also register on Weblate and fix that and other translations.

Could be also translated as "Schleppfehler" (http://www.servotechnik.de/fachwissen/regelung/f_beitr_00_601.htm)
What do you think?

Ok. Meister talla verwendet die Begriffe im Titel auch synonym: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wi0lO63a8rQ #9 LinuxCNC & following error - Schleppfehler aber warum bei openloop?
