We need YOU! :-) The Debian Installer currently supports 38 languages including English (26 100% translated in beta3 and 12 under work or completed since beta3 release). See list at the end of this mail. The list grew up partly because of some DD or other contributors giving enough interest for their own language and partly because some of us tried to find resources for doing translation work in some other "important" languages. "Important" here means that these languages have a wide population in the world....or that they are used in places where Open Source operating systems have a good development currently or in the future....or that they're important enough for someone somewhere caring for having the Debian installation system transalted to it. In this mail subject, I mentioned a few languages which I'm pretty sure at least some Debian developers or users are native speakers. A lot other languages are a good target however. Let's give a list: -Serbian -Croatian -Latvian -Estonian -Belarussian -Moldavian -Icelandic (with these, we would cover whole Europe, I think) -Hindi (or whatever people from India will feel most appropriate besides English) -Afrikaans (some contact by DPL and myself, but no news since then) or Xhosa -Vietnamese -Thai -Farsi (often called Persian) And this is no limitation, of course ! If you happen to have some skills in one of these languages and some free time to share with the Debian community, feel free to contact either myself privately, or the debian-boot mailing list.
