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?
