I would like to rename the debconf answer from debian-installer/language to debian-installer/locale, and store a real locale name (ll_CC) there. This way, we can actually use LANG=$locale after generating the required locale data file. We can also pass the content in /target/root/dbootstrap_settings as LANG_INST=$locale to tell base-config which language to use. I would also like to add support for the LANGUAGE style variable listing several languages in priority order to be able to use other translations if the primary translation is missing. I want it to be able to tell the system to use Norwegian Bokmål if present, and if it isn't use Norwegian Nynorsk, Danish and as a last resort Swedish. This way non-english speakers in Norway have a good chance of understanding the installation. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
