OS X Security Update 2008-002

Buried amongst the long list of recent critical security patches for Apple OS X is this delightful bit of language:

The “Set access for specific services and applications” radio button of the Application Firewall preference pane was translated into German as “Zugriff auf bestimmte Dienste und Programme festlegen”, which is “Set access to specific services and applications”. This might lead a user to believe that the listed services were the only ones that would be permitted to accept incoming connections. This update addresses the issue by changing the German text to semantically match the English text.

I like how it reads “the X button was translated as X, which could be confusing, so it has been changed to Y”. Much clearer now. Anyone have the new German phrase?
