Package: language-chooser Severity: normal (this is tagged as normal on purpose.....remember that the languagechooser menu is the very first thing one ses when installing Debian..:-))
The language order seems to be random. Hungarian first, then australian english, indian english, USA english, UK english, hebrew.... French on the second page, I don't like this.. :-) The order is in fact alphabetical based on the "Choose this" string translation. So, if one currently wants to see his/her own language listed first, just add "AAA" before.... :-) I would suggest adopting a policy for the language order. Of course, determining the "most important" languages is a very delicate thing as everyone would like to have his own language listed on the first page. Finding a realistic criterion would be Good, maybe. Either the most used languages all over the world, or the languages for which Debian is most translated (french would become first, maybe.. :-))), or something based on developer number (german would then come first...)...or whatever else.... This should probably be discussed in a very general mailing list as this impacts a very sensitive point....but expect no consensus reached. I hesitated CC'ing -devel to this....I finally did just for getting as most developers informed as possible. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux mykerinos 2.4.22 #2 Mon Sep 29 15:12:10 CEST 2003 i686 Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (ignored: LC_ALL set to fr_FR.UTF-8)
