Hi, we have formed a group of people in Czech Republic and Slovakia interested in Debian internationalization (two Debian maintainers and several non-maintainers). Lack of national support is a big problem of free operating systems in our countries and we would like to help removing this drawback in Debian.
We had some discussion about short term and long term topics. Of course, we would firstly like to know what i18n support is available right know and what i18n plans already exist. AFAIK, there is a support mostly for translating messages (boot floppies, dselect) and possibly some language selection at boot time. This could be a little more complicated for us than for people in Western Europe, because our languages belong to ISO Latin 2 encoding, which raises some problems not known for Latin 1 languages (fonts, etc.). (We feel that proper environment setup is currently more important for Czech/Slovak speaking Debian users than translations.) Could someone point me to existing Debian i18n projects please? What can we do for our languages already before Debian 2.0? What projects can we help? What future i18n plans exist? Are they some people especially from Latin 2 countries around Debian i18n? Our resources are not much big, but we feel i18n being very important topic and want to do as much as possible in this area.
