Bug Description

Binary package hint: checkbox

I'm translating the program into Polish and it's often either hard to or impossible to understand a string.
In this case the command doesn't make any sense:

"Firewire HDD verification procedure: 1.- Plug a Firewire HDD into the computer 2.- A window should be opened asking which action should be performed (open folder, photo manager, etc). 3.- Copy some files from the internal/firewire HDD to the firewire/internal HDD"

"Copy some files >>>from the >>>internal<<</firewire HDD<<< >>>to the firewire/>>>internal<<< HDD<<<"
Is my English so weak or the person's who wrote the commands? There are plenty of such cases one of which I reported a few days ago where the grammar was incorrect. Just read it all one more time. So that I could know whether to copy files from internal to external or external to internal.

3. becomes "Copy some files from your internal HDD to the firewire HDD."
adds 4. "Copy some files from the firewire HDD to your internal HDD."
