Help translating some terms on rhn-client-tools

[Xavier Conde Rueda]

Uou, I lost that thread...

I'm true sorry Alain, I really forgot to thank you. I read your mail,
but I wasn't able to find the right terms for Catalan, so I forgot
system-config-printer and I didn't thank you. I really appreciated it.

Anyway, I'm sure many other people read your answer, was useful for
them and didn't thanked you. Have you blamed them yet? Any volunteer
to get blamed by Alain? Any hands? No? No? No? No?

I use to thank people their work, really :), and I do it a lot. I just
forgot you.
