Re: Localizing New Debian Installer to Arabic

[Anmar Oueja <anmar@arabeyes.org>]

Hello Alastair:

Hope the bidi implementation is coming along.

I have sent you some sample files for testing. Could you please give me 
a deadline or a guideline when do you see you need the entire po files 
collection translated. I have to arrange my time and the translators 
time to work on this and make sure it is available for you when you are 
ready .

Thanks

Anmar
