I wish you to manage templates as separate files, like this: xserver-common.templates (... original one) xserver-common.templates.fr (... France translation) xserver-common.templates.ja (... Japanese translation) ........ Each files contains original entry and translated descriptions like this: Template: xserver-common/aware_xwrapper Type: note Description: The X server wrapper is configured in /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config. The presence of the old Debian X server wrapper configuration file, /etc/X11/Xserver, has been detected on your system. This file is no longer used, and is completely ignored by the new X server wrapper. . /etc/X11/Xwrapper.config is the new X server wrapper configuration file; it is configured via the debconf interface, as is the selection of the default X server, which is no longer stored in the X server wrapper configuration file at all. Description-ja: foo bar hugahoge. (in Japanese) These are merged into single templaes automatically using with dh_installdebconf in debian/rules (and of cause it is already used in xfree86 packages's debian/rules ;-) And if templaes merged into one file manually. debconf-mergetemplate is useful. These translation templates can easy to generate used by debconf-getlang: debconf-getlang ja xserver-common.templaes > xserver-common.templaes.ja If all of translations into single file, hard to manupulate it. Many internatinalized editor (such as Emacs) have automatic code conversioning, but these scheme can not manage the file contains many various character codes into signle file. For example, If I changed Japanese translation, other translations may be broken. Thanks, -- ISHIKAWA Mutsumi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
