grep - the German translation has got some gaps

[Andre Jaenisch]

Good evening,

today I discovered a gap in the German translation of man grep when
thinking of the effect of grep -iPod recursive foobar / (see
https://plus.google.com/u/0/103909259633844166957/posts/jZyQoMCSmWP ).

The paragraph:

-F, --fixed-strings
    Interpret PATTERN as a list of fixed strings, separated by
newlines, any of which is to be matched. -P, --perl-regexp Interpret
PATTERN as a Perl regular expression.

(see http://linux.about.com/od/commands/l/blcmdl1_grep.htm )
was translated to:

-F, --fixed-strings
              Interpretiere MUSTER als Liste feststehender Zeichenketten, die
              durch Zeilenumbruch getrennt sind.  Für einen Treffer muss min‐
              destens eine der Zeichenketten passen.

in 26. Oktober 2002,
but has to be:

-F, --fixed-strings
              Interpretiere MUSTER als Liste feststehender Zeichenketten, die
              durch Zeilenumbruch getrennt sind.  Für einen Treffer muss min‐
              destens eine der Zeichenketten passen.
              -P, --perl-regexp interpretiere MUSTER als einen Regulären Aus-
              druck in Perl.

I'm using Sabayon 8 right now and the recent version of grep I think
(see http://savannah.gnu.org/projects/grep ).
$ grep --version

I would appreciate if you could correct the missing sentence.

Thanks for the report.  However, translation bugs should be sent to the
appropriate translation team, not upstream.  I'm cc'ing the addresses
listed in de.po.

While at it, I noticed another bug in the de.po file:

#. TRANSLATORS: The placeholder indicates the bug-reporting address
#. for this package.  Please add _another line_ saying
#. "Report translation bugs to <...>\n" with the address for translation
#. bugs (typically your translation team's web or email address).
#: lib/version-etc.c:245 src/main.c:1474
#, c-format
msgid ""
"\n"
"Report bugs to: %s\n"
msgstr ""

There is no translation, which means 'grep --help' will not output the
proper translation bug address when using the German locale.
