Here is a sample script to show how choose-mirror could display sorted translated country names. This script has to be called after debian/choose-mirror/DEBIAN/templates has been built, it patches this file by adding some Indices-XX.UTF-8 lines, which tell cdebconf how to sort these lists. It is not finished yet (see the final comment) but the last bit is quite easy to implement. I won't be able to work on Debian stuff for several weeks, and so cannot finalize this script myself. The Bosnian translation is not sorted because this language has no UTF-8 variant defined in /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED, a bugreport against the locales package should be filed to add it. Denis
