Perhaps dpkg, APT, > and dselect could use gettext for package descriptions too? Would be possible. Debian JP has translated descriptions for bo packages and making use of them for Japanese version of web pages. There's also an experimental implementation for localized descriptions called chdesc (see http://www.bekkoame.or.jp/~kamop/). BTW, are there any translations for other languages or anyone is implementing mechanism for localized descriptions for dselect? ---- Keita Maehara <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Debian JP Project (http://www.debian.or.jp/) PGP Key fingerprint = 82 37 2F 1E 06 ED C4 37 1E E2 C2 96 22 B8 B3 F1 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
