When looking # for a help item, GnuPG scans the help files in the following order # (assuming a GNU or Unix system): # # /etc/gnupg/help.LL_TT.txt # /etc/gnupg/help.LL.txt # /etc/gnupg/help.txt # /usr/share/gnupg/help.LL_TT.txt # /usr/share/gnupg/help.LL.txt # /usr/share/gnupg/help.txt # # Here LL_TT denotes the full name of the current locale with the # territory (.e.g. "de_DE"), LL denotes just the locale name # (e.g. "de"). The first matching item is returned. To put a dot or # a hash mark at the beginning of a help text line, it needs to be # prefixed with ". ". A single dot may be used to terminated ahelp # entry. .#pinentry.qualitybar.tooltip # [remove the hash mark from the key to enable this text] # This entry is just an example on how to customize the tooltip shown # when hovering over the quality bar of the pinentry. We don't # install this text so that the hardcoded translation takes # precedence. An administrator should write up a short help to tell # the users about the configured passphrase constraints and save that # to /etc/gnupg/help.txt. The help text should not be longer than # about 800 characters. This bar indicates the quality of the passphrase entered above. As long as the bar is shown in red, GnuPG considers the passphrase too weak to accept. Please ask your administrator for details about the configured passphrase constraints. . .gnupg.agent-problem # There was a problem accessing or starting the agent. It was either not possible to connect to a running Gpg-Agent or a communication problem with a running agent occurred. The system uses a background process, called Gpg-Agent, for processing private keys and to ask for passphrases. The agent is usually started when the user logs in and runs as long the user is logged in. In case that no agent is available, the system tries to start one on the fly but that version of the agent is somewhat limited in functionality and thus may lead to little problems. You probably need to ask your administrator on how to solve the problem. As a workaround you might try to log out and in to your session and see whether this helps. If this helps please tell the administrator anyway because this indicates a bug in the software. . .gnupg.dirmngr-problem # There was a problen accessing the dirmngr. It was either not possible to connect to a running Dirmngr or a communication problem with a running Dirmngr occurred. To lookup certificate revocation lists (CRLs), performing OCSP validation and to lookup keys through LDAP servers, the system uses an external service program named Dirmngr. The Dirmngr is usually running as a system service (daemon) and does not need any attention by the user. In case of problems the system might start its own copy of the Dirmngr on a per request base; this is a workaround and yields limited performance. If you encounter this problem, you should ask your system administrator how to proceed. As an interim solution you may try to disable CRL checking in gpgsm's configuration. . .gpg.edit_ownertrust.value # The help identies prefixed with "gpg." used to be hard coded in gpg # but may now be overridden by help texts from this file. It's up to you to assign a value here; this value will never be exported to any 3rd party. We need it to implement the web-of-trust; it has nothing to do with the (implicitly created) web-of-certificates. . .gpg.edit_ownertrust.set_ultimate.okay To build the Web-of-Trust, GnuPG needs to know which keys are ultimately trusted - those are usually the keys for which you have access to the secret key. Answer "yes" to set this key to ultimately trusted. .gpg.untrusted_key.override If you want to use this untrusted key anyway, answer "yes". . .gpg.pklist.user_id.enter Enter the user ID of the addressee to whom you want to send the message. . .gpg.keygen.algo Select the algorithm to use. DSA (aka DSS) is the Digital Signature Algorithm and can only be used for signatures. Elgamal is an encrypt-only algorithm. RSA may be used for signatures or encryption. The first (primary) key must always be a key which is capable of signing. . .gpg.keygen.algo.rsa_se In general it is not a good idea to use the same key for signing and encryption. This algorithm should only be used in certain domains. Please consult your security expert first. . .gpg.keygen.flags Toggle the capabilities of the key. It is only possible to toggle those capabilities which are possible for the selected algorithm. To quickly set the capabilities all at once it is possible to enter a '=' as first character followed by a list of letters indicating the capability to set: 's' for signing, 'e' for encryption, and 'a' for authentication. Invalid letters and impossible capabilities are ignored. This submenu is immediately closed after using this shortcut. . .gpg.keygen.size Enter the size of the key. The suggested default is usually a good choice. If you want to use a large key size, for example 4096 bit, please think again whether it really makes sense for you. You may want to view the web page http://www.xkcd.com/538/ . . .gpg.keygen.size.huge.okay Answer "yes" or "no". . .gpg.keygen.size.large.okay Answer "yes" or "no". . .gpg.keygen.valid Enter the required value as shown in the prompt. It is possible to enter a ISO date (YYYY-MM-DD) but you won't get a good error response - instead the system tries to interpret the given value as an interval. . .gpg.keygen.valid.okay Answer "yes" or "no". . .gpg.keygen.name Enter the name of the key holder. The characters "<" and ">" are not allowed. Example: Heinrich Heine . .gpg.keygen.email Please enter an optional but highly suggested email address. Example: heinrichh@duesseldorf.de . .gpg.keygen.comment Please enter an optional comment. The characters "(" and ")" are not allowed. In general there is no need for a comment. . .gpg.keygen.userid.cmd # (Keep a leading empty line) N to change the name. C to change the comment. E to change the email address. O to continue with key generation. Q to quit the key generation. . .gpg.keygen.sub.okay Answer "yes" (or just "y") if it is okay to generate the sub key. . .gpg.sign_uid.okay Answer "yes" or "no". . .gpg.sign_uid.class When you sign a user ID on a key, you should first verify that the key belongs to the person named in the user ID. It is useful for others to know how carefully you verified this. "0" means you make no particular claim as to how carefully you verified the key. "1" means you believe the key is owned by the person who claims to own it but you could not, or did not verify the key at all. This is useful for a "persona" verification, where you sign the key of a pseudonymous user. "2" means you did casual verification of the key. For example, this could mean that you verified the key fingerprint and checked the user ID on the key against a photo ID. "3" means you did extensive verification of the key. For example, this could mean that you verified the key fingerprint with the owner of the key in person, and that you checked, by means of a hard to forge document with a photo ID (such as a passport) that the name of the key owner matches the name in the user ID on the key, and finally that you verified (by exchange of email) that the email address on the key belongs to the key owner. Note that the examples given above for levels 2 and 3 are *only* examples. In the end, it is up to you to decide just what "casual" and "extensive" mean to you when you sign other keys. If you don't know what the right answer is, answer "0". . .gpg.change_passwd.empty.okay Answer "yes" or "no". . .gpg.keyedit.save.okay Answer "yes" or "no". . .gpg.keyedit.cancel.okay Answer "yes" or "no". . .gpg.keyedit.sign_all.okay Answer "yes" if you want to sign ALL the user IDs. . .gpg.keyedit.remove.uid.okay Answer "yes" if you really want to delete this user ID. All certificates are then also lost! . .gpg.keyedit.remove.subkey.okay Answer "yes" if it is okay to delete the subkey. . .gpg.keyedit.delsig.valid This is a valid signature on the key; you normally don't want to delete this signature because it may be important to establish a trust connection to the key or another key certified by this key. . .gpg.keyedit.delsig.unknown This signature can't be checked because you don't have the corresponding key. You should postpone its deletion until you know which key was used because this signing key might establish a trust connection through another already certified key. . .gpg.keyedit.delsig.invalid The signature is not valid. It does make sense to remove it from your keyring. . .gpg.keyedit.delsig.selfsig This is a signature which binds the user ID to the key. It is usually not a good idea to remove such a signature. Actually GnuPG might not be able to use this key anymore. So do this only if this self-signature is for some reason not valid and a second one is available. . .gpg.keyedit.updpref.okay Change the preferences of all user IDs (or just of the selected ones) to the current list of preferences. The timestamp of all affected self-signatures will be advanced by one second. . .gpg.passphrase.enter # (keep a leading empty line) Please enter the passphrase; this is a secret sentence. . .gpg.passphrase.repeat Please repeat the last passphrase, so you are sure what you typed in. . .gpg.detached_signature.filename Give the name of the file to which the signature applies. . .gpg.openfile.overwrite.okay # openfile.c (overwrite_filep) Answer "yes" if it is okay to overwrite the file. . .gpg.openfile.askoutname # openfile.c (ask_outfile_name) Please enter a new filename. If you just hit RETURN the default file (which is shown in brackets) will be used. . .gpg.ask_revocation_reason.code # revoke.c (ask_revocation_reason) You should specify a reason for the revocation. Depending on the context you have the ability to choose from this list: "Key has been compromised" Use this if you have a reason to believe that unauthorized persons got access to your secret key. "Key is superseded" Use this if you have replaced this key with a newer one. "Key is no longer used" Use this if you have retired this key. "User ID is no longer valid" Use this to state that the user ID should not longer be used; this is normally used to mark an email address invalid. . .gpg.ask_revocation_reason.text # revoke.c (ask_revocation_reason) If you like, you can enter a text describing why you issue this revocation certificate. Please keep this text concise. An empty line ends the text. . .gpg.tofu.conflict # tofu.c TOFU has detected another key with the same (or a very similar) email address. It might be that the user created a new key. In this case, you can safely trust the new key (but, confirm this by asking the person). However, it could also be that the key is a forgery or there is an active Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) attack. In this case, you should mark the key as being bad, so that it is untrusted. Marking a key as being untrusted means that any signatures will be considered bad and attempts to encrypt to the key will be flagged. If you are unsure and can't currently check, you should select either accept once or reject once. . .gpgsm.root-cert-not-trusted # This text gets displayed by the audit log if # a root certificates was not trusted. The root certificate (the trust-anchor) is not trusted. Depending on the configuration you may have been prompted to mark that root certificate as trusted or you need to manually tell GnuPG to trust that certificate. Trusted certificates are configured in the file trustlist.txt in GnuPG's home directory. If you are in doubt, ask your system administrator whether you should trust this certificate. .gpgsm.crl-problem # This text is displayed by the audit log for problems with # the CRL or OCSP checking. Depending on your configuration a problem retrieving the CRL or performing an OCSP check occurred. There are a great variety of reasons why this did not work. Check the manual for possible solutions. # Local variables: # mode: default-generic # coding: utf-8 # End:
