Only a few people may have noticed that seven supported languages have reached the "perfect" state of full translation for all packages we have defined as being part of "Debian Installer translation effort", thanks to recent uploads of l10n-fixed dpkg and apt.
These languages are: Czech, Danish, French, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, Slovak A few other could easily reach it by updating the translation of base-config, and indeed they are already 100% for sarge as base-config has only been changed in its unstable branch: Catalan, Spanish, Norwegian Nynorsk, Brazilian Portuguese Other are very close to this perfect state and only miss 1 or 2 strings here and there (I have still to check this): German, Basque, Dutch, Simplified Chinese And several are not far at all as well.. All these languages are of course complete for the "core" D-I translation (1st stage) since a long time. For details: http://people.debian.org/~seppy/d-i/translation-status.html Many thanks to the involved translators and translation teams. Keep up the good work, guys and girls. I'd also like to send special public thanks to Scott James Remnant (main maintainer of dpkg) and Matt Zimmerman (main maintainer of apt) as well as Michael Piefel (who handles translations for apt) for their great reactivity and openess regarding l10n issues. This is for sure something that has definitely been changed in the last years. --
