Package: debian-i18n
Severity: wishlist
I downloaded the Debian Testing KDE CD and installed it with norwegian bokmål
as a language. This leads to norwegian being used some places
but also causes for instance apt to give me messages in a mix of swedish,
danish and norwegian. I'd be more than happy to help translate and
write norwegian messages where danish/swedish is found.
thegimp also ended up with nynorsk as a language and not bokmål.
Regards
Jon Jahren

And this is not a bug, but a feature requested by Norwegian users long
time ago. Norwegian is one of the very few languages for which this is
done, but that's mostly because we've always been explained that nb,
da and sv are mutually intelligible.
