With a bit more than one day delay to allow last minute updates for a few languages, I've uploaded the new release of installation-guide. Thanks to a huge last minute surprise effort from the Spanish and Korean translators, and to a lesser extend those for Catalan, Czech and Vietnamese, only one language had to be excluded from the release because the translation is not sufficiently up-to-date: Greek. We can also celebrate a new translation that was added in this release: Vietnamese, thanks to the efforts of Clytie. My sincere thanks to all translators for their hard work. Jens Seidel posted some questions with regard to the release policy I am following for the Installation Guide. Because - there was no real support for his viewpoint from the actual translators of the manual, - we've had excellent results for the last few releases where almost all translations were fully up-to-date and practically all fully translated, - I am convinced that the current policy helps getting as many high quality translations as possible ready for the release of Etch, I don't see any reason to change it. What I will do is make the release policy explicit by including it on [1]. This is not done yet, but is now on my ToDo list. How translators plan their work within that release policy is of course their choice. They all know how the need for a huge last minute effort can be avoided, but again, that is up to them :-) There are now two translations that have been included in a previous release, but are currently excluded because they have not been updated: - Greek (el) - Traditional Chinese (zh_TW) I hope these can catch up again, at least in time for the Etch release. Updates to the manual are welcome again. Cheers, FJP [1] http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/manual/translators.html
