Bug Description
Binary package hint: grsync
Grsync have a too geeky description in software center. In french, it is 'synchroniser des fichiers avec rsync' (synchronise files using rsync). But a noob doesn't know what is rsync. I think it should be something like synchroniser des fichiers et dossiers entre plusieurs emplacements (synchronize files and folders between differents places ). I think that the description mustn't contain rsync world,no matter the language : a noob could be afraid by this new horrible world!
-------------
[Current short/long Description:]
Synchronize files with rsync
grsync is a simple graphical interface using GTK2 for the rsync command line program.
It currently supports only a limited set of the most important rsync features, but can be used effectively for local directory synchronization.

Well , rsync is not really something a new user would be looking for. It is a command line program and there is really no way of avoiding using "rsync" in the description. rsync needs to be in the description.
Maybe "GTK2" can be removed but i dont really see too much of a problem with the description mainly because Grsync is not an application the average user will be looking for.
Any suggestions?
