I am very pleased to announced that Malayalam reached 100% translation for Debian Installer "level 1" yesterday and has been activated by the D-I development team.
Therefore, Malayalam will be supported in the soon to come Debian "etch" installer. The D-I daily builds which one can get from http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer will have Malayalam support as of next night (UTC). Please note that first daily builds will have very few strings translated because each all D-I packages need to be rebuilt to incorporate the new language, which usually massively happens only when the release is being prepared. That gives the following list of supported language in the Indic family: Bengali Gujarati Hindi Malayalam Nepali Punjabi Tamil 6 out of the 22 (if I'm correct) official languages in India...let's hope we will complete the list for Debian "lenny"...:). Remember that Debian "sarge" installer didn't support any official language from India, except....English. Under work currently: Kannada, Marathi, Telugu
