Quoting Frans Pop (elendil@planet.nl): > What policy have we been following for this for other languages? > The README currently says "but if you know the installer will never have a > message containing a given character (such as the Euro sign), please > leave it out to save space", but maybe we should add that characters > directly available through keyboards are OK? As the README says, the policy was set for characters meant to be *displayed*. But, as you say, since that policy was setup, there have been more places where input of non ASCII characters indeed makes sense (IIRC, the policy was established when we still had two stages, so for instance, the username was type in 2nd stage). So your proposal to add to this all characters that are potentially typed on various keymaps makes sense.
