The first DDTP translation effort started years ago (over 4, actually) and it was quite serious at the time for some languages. It was stalled due to gluck's compromise and recently restarted. > that the best language has yet only one third of descriptions translated > in optional and extra, and steeply dropping to only a couple of > percentpoints for those after that. This is very much related to the fact that the language teams see no gain for translating the DDTP right now since end-users would not be able to see them, as there is no support in apt or its frontends. A change in apt to make those visible when users run 'apt-cache search|show' even if apt frontends (aptitude, synaptic) do not use them yet would certainly make translation teams shift their efforts over to the DDTP. Just my 2c. Javier
