Steps to reproduce the issue

Update a third party extension.
If the extension's update server is missing checksum data (sha256, sha384 and/or sha512), after install, a warning pops up:
No checksum found on the server.

This message 'scares' a lot of users and most don't understand what it means.
This should probably be 'rewritten' in a language everyone can understand, not only the developers.

Expected result

Users understand what is going on

Actual result

Users get confused about the message, if they are not developers

How about

This extension does not provide a checksum for validation of the integrity of the downloaded file.

That's already much better.
