Bug#228469: cdebconf: Does not display Chinese messages
Package: cdebconf
Severity: normal
Tags: d-i
Though packages have a 100% translation in Chinese, and though the
/var/lib/dpkg/info/*.templates files indeed have zh_CN entries, the screens
are always shown in English when the Chinese language is selected.
This is probably not only a font-related problem as at least some messed up
characters should be shown. It just seems that the chinese entries are not
recognised in templates files.
This is also not directly related to the language being a xx_YY language as
things seem to work OK with Brazilian Portuguese (pt_BR).
I'll make a few further tests:
-change some zh_CN.po files to zh.po
-change the languagechooser entry to select "zh" for Chinese
-confirm that pt_BR works...and is different from pt
