Hi Olivier,

thanks a lot! So another iteration ... CCing all the other guys and
keeping your message.

So the new text proposal is:

----
Update Linked Data
----
This document links to external data that might have changed. Do you
want to update all linked data or keep the current document content?
----
[Help]          [Update] [Keep]
----

Bye,
Christoph
