Maybe: ;; TRANSLATORS: 'running' is the name of a variable.

I thought #:running describes the manner in which the service is
running.  Maybe I misunderstand.

Mario Blättermann translated literally before and I changed it to a
German translation of "  Runs with »running« value ~s.~%" (with a
German word for only the first occurrence of “run”).

I am sorry for having responded in a rude manner before.

Regards,
Florian
