Hello. One of the functions of tails-greeter project is to allow user to choose desired language.
There are several approaches to handle different languages: 1) is to offer specially maintained list of languages, for example ubiquity (ubuntu installer) have list of supported locales in its source code 2) another approach is to obtain the list of potentially supported languages from the system, for example from /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED or locales of some popular package. Right now tails-greeter utilize 2nd approach but we'd like to know the community opinion on that. Should we offer user all the languages potentially available in the system, or some well-supported languages (e. g. from locales of some package), or only the languages maintained and tested by tails developers? N. B: the 'languages' above refer to system-wide locales, the translation of tails-greeter itself is rather small task thanks to small amount of text used so it can be handled independently. If tails-greeter is translated to some language which is not available to the system than English will be used for locale as a 'safe default' option. looking forward for your comments, Max.
