As said already, as long as we don't have "live" experiences of how exactly the screen about timezones will show and and will be used, we are not certain of everything. I have chosen to drop the continent/country part in the French translations actually. This because the screen will be shown only with timezones of the country you have formerly chosen in the installer. So, if people choose Brasil as country, they will be prompted with all Brasil timezones. Hence there is no point in keeping America/Brasil/ in the choices. Getting a list of brisilian timezones with only the timezone names will be enough. I still have a doubt, though, because I don't know what happens in case people use the "Other choice" choice in the list. I suppose they will get the full world timezones list but I am unsure of this. tzsetup and clock-setup are brand new things in d-i. I still didn't manage to get time to test them and make my mind about the Right Way to translate. So, please be ready to have to adapt your work again.....I, as French translator, am ready to it..:-) If unsure or don't want to "waste" time, just leave the translations as is and wait for more input....or just test D-I to get an idea.. (as soon as daily builds will be available again, which I'm not sure they are now) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
