Well, this does *not* work. I (and others) did some translations for
d.i. Since there is no interface for translaters like DDTP, I filed
bugs. Now those bugs are wandering through BTS and it seems to be a
random walk. My translation is now a year old and still not considered
-- quite the opposite: I recently tried to get it included but
everyone told me, that he is not responsible and that I should find
the person responsible.
I recently sent a mail to debian-boot
http://lists.debian.org/debian-boot/2003/debian-boot-200312/msg00063.html
in an attempt to understand where those bugs are supposed to go (and
also in the case of the aboot-installer who is maintaining it) but I
did not get a response (it is "only" a fortnight ago, btw.).
For me, d-i is not very friendly to work with currently. I'd rather
prefer to have a single address (person, mail robot, whatever) to send
my translations to than just expect mere coincidence (and lots of
people telling me to find someone else).
I really like to help translating, but first I like to know if there
is a chance that these translations are actually included.
Greetings
Helge
P.S. How is the french team handling this?
