Hi, --- for Joey Hess --- I am now discussing about internationalizing debconf. This is related to Bug#148490. Please read http://lists.debian.org/debian-i18n/2002/debian-i18n-200207/msg00002.html which is the origin of this discussion. I wonder you don't subscribe debian-i18n list.

(se is language name - swedish, SV country - Sweden) "se" is Sami. However, I think it may be a typo in Debconf template. How do you think about http://ftp-master.debian.org/~barbier/l10n/material/templates/unstable/main/libr/libroxen-imho/libroxen-imho_0.98.3-3_debian_templates.gz with Description-se: field? > > Or, to internationalize Debconf, it may be a good idea to convert > > all Debconf templates into UTF-8.

For my script to work well, *all* Debconf templates will have to be converted and my script will have to be integrated into debconf package. Since I don't know at all about the internal of debconf (though I know about how to handle encodings), I will need help. For debconf to work well for most of people, migration of Debconf templates will have to be done in a short period, because debconf won't work well during template migration. If this will be a large problem, some mechanism will be needed to handle both of conventional and UTF-8 Debconf templates. BTW, does Text::Iconv(3pm) works well (I mean, we can convert ISO-8859-*, KOI8-R, EUC-* and so on) without "locales" package? --- Tomohiro KUBOTA <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.debian.or.jp/~kubota/ "Introduction to I18N" http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/intro-i18n/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
