As recently announced in http://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2004/08/msg00988.html, the process for moving towards a central PO file for all Debian Installer packages po-debconf translations has started.
French translations have been moved and I'm currently heavily testing the l10n-sync script (in scripts/l10n-utilities in D-I source tree) which does all the magic. I suggest that all translation teams discuss the way they plan to handle the change, and specifically the fact that the work won't be splittable package per package anymore when a team makes the switch. I will encourage l10n teams to make the switch as this enforces the general consistency of D-I translations, but the change may require a slightly different approach. In any case, you all will have time for handling the switch. I repeat�: only "fr" has been switched (and the switch is reversible anyway)-->other teams currently still have ot use the good old method for D-I translations. --
