            Bug ID: 442580
           Summary: Control panel's checkbox legend to access UEFI on next
                    startup is unclear in French
           Product: i18n
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: fr
          Assignee: kde-francophone at kde.org
          Reporter: aldo-public at laposte.net
  Target Milestone: ---

In plasma system settings, in the desktop session management tab, there is a
checkbox labelled "Saisir l'écran de configuration du micro-programme au
prochain redémarrage".

In my opinion this is a very puzzling description of what this is meant to do.

After researching a bit (looking for the original English label), I finally
understood this was meant to enter UEFI setup on next computer boot.

In this regard, the translation does not work at all:
- "saisir" means for a human to input some data into the computer. How is this
related to what the checkbox does?
- "micro-programme" can be understood, although it is very uncommon, compared
to the English word "firmware" (I understand there is some ideology here,
trying to push French equivalents when it is possible). Anyway, there are a lot
of micro-programmes (or firmwares). How is the user supposed to guess this is
about UEFI?

Suggested replacement: "Entrer dans l'écran de configuration du micro-programme
UEFI au prochain démarrage".
