I'm currently in the process of translating install.txt to Dutch (as promised a long time ago), so the text receives a lot of my attention.

In section 2 'Create the Drupal database' I find a section confusing:

   At the MySQL prompt, enter following command:

     GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON drupal.*
        TO nobody@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'password';

   where

    'drupal' is the name of your database
    'nobody@localhost' is the username of your webserver MySQL account
    'password' is the password required to log in as the MySQL user

The part I think might be confusing is 'nobody@localhost' is the username of your webserver MySQL account. Isn't nobody@localhost just the username you want Drupal to use when connecting to MySQL (ie use later in settings.php), completely unrelated to the webserver?

These instructions have been slightly revised for 4.7, to more adequately indicate what's going on.

Thanks,

This is much clearer; mind if I use this as well in the 4.6 translation?

Concerning a 4.7 translation; will there be three different text files in 4.7? Can't seem to find a discussion in the doc archive about this.

I have no problem with you using those texts in 4.6.

And for 4.7, yes, there will (and is - see the recent betas) be three different files: INSTALL.txt is the generic "how to install Drupal", and INSTALL.mysql.txt and INSTALL.pgsql.txt cover how to get the Drupal database going for your specific backend.

Great,

When finished I'll start on the 4.7 translation, so it will be ready when 4.7 is released.
