We need YOU! :-)

The Debian Installer currently supports 38 languages including
English (26 100% translated in beta3 and 12 under work or completed
since beta3 release). See list at the end of this mail.

The list grew up partly because of some DD or other contributors
giving enough interest for their own language and partly because some
of us tried to find resources for doing translation work in some other
"important" languages.

"Important" here means that these languages have a wide population in
the world....or that they are used in places where Open Source
operating systems have a good development currently or in the
future....or that they're important enough for someone somewhere
caring for having the Debian installation system transalted to it.

In this mail subject, I mentioned a few languages which I'm pretty
sure at least some Debian developers or users are native speakers.

A lot other languages are a good target however. Let's give a list:

-Serbian
-Croatian
-Latvian
-Estonian
-Belarussian
-Moldavian
Moldavian can be included by Romanian as "their" official language is in fact Romanian (with maybe a few little modifications here and there), but Romanian is 100% understandable for a Moldavian (well, except regionalisms - some kind of dialect, but on a smaller scale)

-Icelandic
