Afrikaans is without any doubt an african language..:-) Anyway, what we're currently and indeed always are seeking, are translators for all languages we don't support yet..this includes Klingon as well....(though I suspect an Afrikaans translation to be far more useful than a Klingon one). So, if you're interested in participating to Debian Installer localisation effort to Afrikaans, then you ringed the correct door. More precisely speaking, I am, together with Dennis Stampfer ([EMAIL PROTECTED]), the one you need to speak with in order to begin this effort. The general documentation about d-i localisation may be found at: http://svn.debian.org/viewcvs/*checkout*/d-i/trunk/installer/doc/i18n/i18n.html Be aware that the currently prepared release of d-i will not include more languages than currently supported, mostly because we need to freeze the size of packages. However, new languages are highly welcome and will be included in future releases (we're still hoping that the d-i release cycle will be faster the general Debian release cycle). These new languages are called "prospective languages" in our internal jargon. A few languages are currently in that list (Malagasy, Macedonian, Vietnamese....) and we could be very happy to add Afrikaans to the list. I've been in contact with the translate-devel people where South-African translators are very active. Maybe you got aware of this "call for african translations" through them...or maybe through another channel. In any case, feel free to jump in to the boat and just keep in touch and ask any question you want to ask... And if you're in touch with potentiel Zulu, Xhosa and the other 8 official languages in RSA, just send them here.... -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
