Very very short update: no progress since yesterday. Please note that I'll be offline from tomorrow July 2nd morning up to July 4th evening. I expect to be able to cope with pending mail reading by Monday July 5th. The mass upload that was planned after the official end of string freeze will then only start on Monday 5th, at best....and will probably be quite slow and extend all over the upcoming week. Please find below the list of languages that I should drop at the end of the string freeze if I strictly follow the published rules we have (sublevels 1 and 2 must be complete): - Belarusian (for 2 strings!) - Ukrainian (for 2 strings!) - Brazilian Portuguese (for 16 strings!) - Hungarian (for 19 strings!) - Tagalog (63 strings) - Kurdish (70 strings) - Croatian, Macedonian, Wolof, Serbian (72 strings) - Welsh (92 strings) Among these, I expect Brazilian and Croatian to get completed by their regular translator. Ukrainian quite hopefully also. Among languages that are not yet activated but could be, Persian will hopefully be complete by Sunday. And Sinhala might also be OK but I'm less confident as I hadn't any contact with the translator for quite a while. PS: I *still* expect all D-I translators to follow debian-i18n. This is obviously not the case, as personal reminders that I send by private mail often do get some responses while not action happens when I send notices in the mailing list only. This is really sad as it makes the coordination work even more complicated than it is already. PS/2: in case you can do something for the "endangered" languages but are not the regular translator, it's quite too late for sending me a mail with "what can I do for helping". The only thing you can do is go to http://d-i.debian.org/l10n-stats/ and, more precisely get the following files: http://d-i.debian.org/l10n-stats/level1/files/<language>/debian-installer_packages_po_sublevel1_<language>.po http://d-i.debian.org/l10n-stats/level1/files/<language>/debian-installer_packages_po_sublevel2_<language>.po ...then complete them and send them to me or debian-boot@lists.debian.org. The count is currently 51. You have 4 days left.
