Using the latest versions of DrakX I don't get the Swedish translations, although I selected it at the start.
I don't know if it helps, but here's a snippet from the output: starting step `selectLanguage´ warning: rm of /usr/share/locale failed: No such file or directory getFile Mandrake/mdkinst/usr/share/locale/UTF-8/LC_COLLATE: getFile Mandrake/mdkinst/usr/share/locale/UTF-8/LC_CTYPE: FTP: 550 file unavailable errorOpeningFile Mandrake/mdkinst/usr/share/locale/UTF-8/LC_CTYPE warning: rm of /usr/share/locale_special failed: No such file or directory getFile Mandrake/mdkinst/usr/share/locale_special/sv/LC_MESSAGES/libDrakX.mo: selectLanguage: pack_langs sv Regards, Mattias
