Hi Martijn, never received an answer for this. I don't think anyone has any recollection about this subject. Perhaps somebody on the two lists "Debian Development" <[email protected]>,"Debian sproglisten" <[email protected]> can help out?
If i take a look on http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/Debian7.4/main/i18n/ it looks like some languages does receive updates. Perhaps we could make a test and update e.g. Danish? http://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/wheezy/main/i18n/ bye Joe --- Den man 10/2/14 skrev Joe Dalton <[email protected]>: > Fra: Joe Dalton <[email protected]> > Emne: Request: adding translation updates for package descriptions Wheezy > Til: [email protected] > Cc: "Martijn van Oosterhout" <[email protected]> > Dato: mandag 10. februar 2014 10.20 > Hi, I'm writing to you on behalf of > the Danish translation team.
