I have some doubts that the French translation matches the original sufficiently for a fully automated conversion without any minor corrections. pgp2kOOPb6VeK.pgp Description: PGP signature

The > en/boot-installer/alpha.xml looks well-formed to me. I mean, alpha.xml, and arm.xml, ia.xml in the same dir, and others... are not "proper xml" for split2po.

I'm still learning all the d-i installation guide details so, sorry, I don't have a "ready" answer, I can check it later, I need to fix a few thing about PO statistics, if you can send me the commands (or steps) so I can try to reproduce, that would help.
