Package: libhepmc-dev
Version: 2.06.09-1
Severity: wishlist
X-Debbugs-CC: debian-l10n-english at lists.debian.org

Dear Debian Science Maintainers,

reviewing the translation of libhepmc-dev (1) I asked myself whether the 
wording
(copied from upstream (2)) is correct.

I'm a German native and quite confident in my command of the English 
language.
So the "event record" is my problem. Shouldn't it be an "event recorder"?

Moreover, in the short descriptions there are too many capital letters 
and the
short descriptions of libhepmcfio and libhepmcfio4-dev do not match the rest
of the short descriptions. (3)

How about

libhepmcfio4: event record for Monte Carlo Generators, fio library
and
libhepmcfio-dev: event record for Monte Carlo Generators, fio library - 
development files?

(CC'ing l10n-english for best wording)

Kind regards,
    Martin
