Hi,

I'm trying better l10n (localization) around base-config (mainly
apt-setup, tzsetup).

I wrote a patch Bug#233995 against apt-setup.
This patch provides to get country list from iso-codes (if iso-codes
doesn't exist, apt-setup simply shows in English).

I have a question.

1. Everyone, do you accept to install iso-codes for all environment?
   iso-codes needs around 2Mbytes. For better l10n, iso-codes is
   really good database. But for native English users, this looks just
   big disk eater.

I'm looking tzsetup, but it seems more challenging...
tzsetup needs l10nize for city list (area list is already l10nized by
tzsetup itself).

tzsetup.templates shows:

Template: tzconfig/select_zone
Type: select
Choices: ${choices}
Description: ...

This means if I simply l10nize choices, $RET value from this debconf
is l10nized string. This is not useful for tzsetup routine.
One of suck idea is to provide like this and set values by tzsetup:

Template: tzconfig/select_zone
Type: select
Choices: ${choices}
Choices-ja.UTF-8: ${choices-l10n}
Choices-...: ${choices-l10n}
 ...
Description: ...

2. Joey, do you have good idea?

Thanks,
