I understand that we should aim for a complete Italian translation but "archiviazione" to me sounds like "backup" or "archive". It doesn't sound like a proper translation.

I discussed this topic on the Linux Translation Project mailing list and the majority of the people seems to agree on leaving the word untraslated but I really cannot say that I reached a _real_ agreement.

In short, I'm still think we should leave the word untranslated.
How about posting the new file to ltp and move there the discussion?
Ciao,
