Bug Description

As of today on launchpad : three small issues encountered when translating USC strings :

#162
https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise/+source/software-center/+pots/software-center/fr/162/+translate
Current sentence : "This computer does not have graphics fast enough for this software."
The word "graphics" might be too vague. Would "graphics performances" be better ?

#261
https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise/+source/software-center/+pots/software-center/fr/261/+translate
Current sentence : "There was a problem posting this review to %s."
As explained in the developer's note, their should be a comma (",") at the end of this sentence, not a final stop (".").

#447
https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise/+source/software-center/+pots/software-center/fr/447/+translate
Current sentence : "To make recommendations, Ubuntu Software Center will occasionally send to Canonical an anonymous list of software currently installed."
I would replace "To make recommendations" by "To improve recommmendations"

Thanks for these suggestions.

#162: "graphics performances" would be ungrammatical -- performance, as used here, is a mass noun. So "graphics performance" would be better, but "performance" would then be redundant with "fast enough". That could be fixed by removing "fast" and moving "enough" earlier: "This computer does not have enough graphics performance for this software." But compared with "graphics fast enough", "enough graphics performance" would be a little longer, a little less direct, and not even any less vague.

#261: The string should end with a period, but the translator note is incorrect. I think this particular string shouldn't have a translator note at all; you don't need to know that there might be multiple services included in the string. (If you did need to know, we'd have bigger problems, because we use the same string regardless of how many services there are.)

#447: USC doesn't give you recommendations at all unless you submit a list of installed software. So "To make recommendations" is correct.
