Hi, I'm right know giving d-i a try in a VMware virtual machine which I set up inside my brother's real machine (my processor, AMD K6-II 500, seems not to be supported by VMware so I have only today to test d-i using my brother's machine until he got home and reclaim his machine again). I'm testing everything in order to see if everything which needs to be presented translated to the user is not being presented as so. So far, apart from the problem already mentioned by Christian Perrier (cfdisk not being displayed in any language besides the default English), I have found that partconf's template file found at tools/partconf/debian/partconf.templates is referencing the $FSCHOICES variable in two places : one in partconf/existing-filesystem and other in partconf/create-filesystem . The problem is that $FSCHOICES, which seems to be mentioned only in tools/partconf/partconf.c, can not be translated at all. Both partconf/existing-filesystems and partcnf/create-filesystems simply takes its value and put it into the Choices fields. Both Choices fields (from both templates) are properly marked as translatable but the problem is that $FSCHOICES cannot be translated (obviously), without translators having a look at which are the filesystems options available int the source code and hand-listing them into the templates. This would clearly break the dynamic behaviour of partconf regarding supported filesystems. Does someone have a clue if it's really possible to allow the options presented to the user (retrieved from the $FSCHOICES variable) be translated without breaking the dynamic behaviour of partconf ? I mean, when more filesystems get included/supported into partconf in the future, translators would need to update all their translations again if no dynamic approach (like the one which is being used currently) is used. Am I an idiot (most probably) as I can't find an easy solution to this or is this a real problem ? -- ++----------------------------------------------------------------------++ || André Luís Lopes andrelop@debian.org || || http://people.debian.org/~andrelop || || Debian-BR Project http://www.debian-br.org || || Public GPG KeyID 9D1B82F6 ||
