[Message part 3 (text/plain, inline)]

Hi,

The translator comment regarding the prompt in remove.c is
unclear, and the suggested alternative way of translation is
hardly any better than the original string.  Looking back in
history, the very first version of this comment was better:
it suggested an alternative that would seem to avoid any
grammatical discrepancies in most languages.  So, attached
patch reinstates that primal alternative, and tries to improve
the surrounding wording to explain the difficulty better.

Benno
