Description
In mintinstall (tested in version 8.4.0), the string "Searching package sources" is translated as "Paketquellen werden gesucht". This appears specifically when a user enters a search term in the search bar.
There are two issues with the current translation:
Contextual: At this stage, the application is not searching for "sources" (repositories), but for applications/packages within the already indexed data. Using "Paketquellen" is technically misleading for the user.
Semantic: In German, "gesucht" implies searching for something lost or unknown (searching for). Since the app is scanning known data, it should be "durchsucht" (searching through / scanning).
Proposed Solution: I suggest changing the string to something more accurate for the search process:
Preferred (German): "Suche läuft – einen Moment bitte" (Search in progress)
Alternative (German): "Paketquellen werden durchsucht – einen Moment bitte" (Scanning package sources)
The first option is more user-friendly as it describes the actual action the user just triggered.
