Well, we can build the locale together. I will have to ask you questions related to either the country or the language: -currency -way to represent date and time -how sorting works and so on. I will probably start from the French localewhich is what I usually do when working on a locale for a Latin-based language > Yes. It uses the Latin srcipt and without accentuated characters.

You indeed need to know which types of keyboard are usually used for inputting Malagasy language. I guess these are probably US-layout, or french layout.....indeed the only problem would be if the layout is completely new...which would be a surprise. > > Even though some parts described here are not yet in place, you'll > > get > > most of the point.... > > > > > > Well, I'll already subscribed to alhiot under the name of "deep-guest". > I don't realy know how to get start.

So, what I suggest you is getting more familiar with PO files handling. You can grab a copy of the needed directory: svn co svn//svn.debian.org:3690/svn/d-i/trunk/packages/po debian-installer Then from there, copy template.pot to mg.po The use some PO editing tool such as KBabel or Poedit (I have used both so I can helpl you with them) and start working�: this is pretty obvious, but feel free to ask for help, here...or preferrably in [EMAIL PROTECTED] If you feel lost, you can go to #debian-boot on IRC irc.freenode.net....or even drop me a phone call at office hours at 0146734438. Be aware that, because of the lack of locale, this is probably a work for a post-sarge release of Debian Installer...we will probably be short in time for having a mg_MG locale ready and incorporated in sarge. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
