FYI I have just uploaded xfonts-traditional 1.5 which contains all of the translations from the tarball provided by Christian Perrier. Thanks, Christian.
There is one wrinkle I need to bring to your attention, though. As previously discussed, I have not accepted all of the changes suggested by debian-l10n-english. However, the translation templates were based on the English text as proposed by debian-l10n-english. Therefore there are some differences between the English texts on which the translations were based and the actual English texts in the package. Almost all of these differences relate to minor points of style. It seems to me that these shouldn't make much if any difference to the correct translation. For example, if I prefer to have the messages use the first person, there is no problem for a translation to use the third person. There was one change which I did not accept which I felt was actually wrong: You should not remove xfonts-traditional while "fixed" refers to one of its fonts. You probably want to check the differences between the various /etc/X11/fonts/misc/xfonts-base.alias*, reconcile any changes, - and then run "update-fonts-alias misc". After that you can retry the - removal. + and then run "update-fonts-alias misc". Nevertheless, this change seemed minor enough that the translations as they are are probably more useful to users than the English messages. So I followed the instructions in the Developers' Reference to unfuzz the translations. If translators consider it worthwhile, I would accept further updates to the non-English translations. Personally I'm sure translators have more important tasks right now but I thought you should be told. Thanks to taffit and symoon on #debian-i18n who were very helpful with information and advice. I would like to emphasise though that the decisions I have explained above were entirely my own and if I have done something wrong it's my fault and not theirs.
