Description

From : konrad.hinsen@cnrs.fr

> Tous les textes en anglais méritent une relecture
> attentive. Au minimum, il faudrait corriger ce qui
> saute aux yeux sur la page d'accueil :
>
> "Welcome on the catalog" –> "Welcome to the catalog"
>
> "Search a software (by name and keywords)" –> "Search for software (by name or keywords)"
>
> "1149 free software" –> "1149 free software packages"
>
> Globalement, je vois beaucoup d'usages du mot "software" qui
> ignorent qu'en anglais c'est un nom indénombrable. Les bonnes
> traductions sont donc
>
> un logiciel –> a piece of software, a software package
> deux logiciels –> two pieces of software, two software packages
> des logiciels –> software
> beaucoup de logiciels –> a lot of software
> trop de logiciels –> too much software ;-)

Research direction

Start with the English text on the catalog's home page and locate the listed phrases: “Welcome on the catalog,” “Search a software,” and “1149 free software.” Correct these translations and review other uses of “software” for countability; done means the homepage wording and broader English usage are natural and consistent.
