Bug Description
software-
1. In "Software Sources", check or uncheck any of the checkboxes.
What happens: An alert appears saying "Authentication to write a new APT configuration".
What should happen: The alert should use less jargon. aptdaemon already has a less geeky string for this exact purpose: "To change software repository settings, you need to authenticate."
