Hi all,
Now that the infrastructure for sublevels has been implemented, we can warn
users if the language they have selected is not fully translated.
The advantage of that is that we can be a bit more relaxed about having
translations at (near) 100% for a release because the user will be warned
in advance that he may encounter some strings in a different language and
(s)he will have the option of either continuing, switching to a different
language, or aborting the installation before e.g. his harddisk has been
erased...
The warnings are in 5 different levels of severity depending on the sublevel
which is incomplete. One example of a warning is:
The translation of the installer is incomplete for the selected language.
This means that there is a significant chance that some dialogs will be
displayed in English instead.
Unless you have a good understanding of the alternative language, it is
recommended to either select a different language or abort the
installation.
Continue the installation in the selected language?
As you can see, the warnings include the language that the installer will
fall back to. For most languages this will always be English, but a few
have other fallbacks that are tried first.
For these languages we have added extra strings that list these fallback
languages. These extra strings will not be included in the normal l10n
processes, but will be maintained separately.
Request for *ONLY* Chinese and Portuguese translators
-
In order to do some final testing, I would appreciate translations of these
extra strings *only for the following languages*:
- Simplified Chinese
- Traditional Chinese
- Portuguese
- Brazilian Portuguese
Please send me (either privately or on the list) the translation the
attached file that ends in your language code; i.e: you only need to
translate the strings in one file.
See the comments at the top of the file for instructions.

Christian Perrier [EMAIL PROTECTED] has sent me the text, and I've
translated the 4 zh_CN related paragraphs. Please see below:
# The commented text in the templates below should be translated into
# *Simplified Chinese* in the Description field (on a single line!).
# After that has been done, the templates can be uncommented (the
# example text should remain commented!).

This means that there is a significant chance that some dialogs will be
displayed in Traditional Chinese or, if that is also not available, in
English.

If you do anything other than a purely default installation, there is a
real chance that some dialogs will be displayed in Traditional Chinese or,
if that is also not available, in English.

If you continue the installation in the selected language, most dialogs
should be displayed correctly but - especially if you use the more
advanced options of the installer - some may be displayed in Traditional
Chinese or, if that is also not available, in English.
