Description:

In Pacman, the phrase "replace with" is incorrectly translated to the Dutch "vervangen met". The correct translation is "vervangen door".

Additional info:
* pacman 5.0.2-2

Steps to reproduce:

Install package kdeaccessibility-kmag version 17.04.3-1, using Dutch translation
$ sudo pacman -Syu

Pacman will propose:
:: kdeaccessibility-kmag vervangen met extra/kmag? [J/n]

Pacman manages translations using transifex now, instructions for contributing are here: https://www.archlinux.org/pacman/translation-help.html

06:25 PM <allanbrokeit> eschwartz: I dont add new people to a language the is already got active translators. I'll put a note in transifex

Sorry.

Sorry - a bigger group of translators for a language does not equate to a better translation. So I don't add people to languages that complete translations on time for releases, and instead leave that to the lead translator for that language.

I'll make sure they are informed about this.

@Allen that's great!

Seems the suggestion was ignored on transifex. I confirmed with a native speaker and made the change myself. Will be in pacman-6.0
