Greetings, I have finally finished working on the dbootstrap PO file yesterday; it took much longer than I expected. A quick glance of the latest CVS version (potato branch) showed that only zh_CN.po is committed, so Chinese installation support is basically non-functional. I propose that modifications be committed to enable Chinese installation (CVS patch and additional files attached).
It works like this: two options, simplified Chinese and traditional Chinese, will be presented to the user in the language chooser. Both options are labelled 'zh' instead of 'zh_CN' and 'zh_TW', as encodings need not reflect the actual locale to be used. Then, in the next "Choose Language Variant" menu, the user can select the keyboard map and the actual locale to be used. My own test showed that it works pretty well, except for the broken keyboard map selection. Opinions are most welcome. -- Chuan-kai Lin
