The solution is simply to add the required characters in debian-installer/build/needed-characters/ka.utf:
So, we need a Georgian translator, providing us a file with all non-ascii characters needed for the Georgian language. Can anyone help us, please?
With the attached script you can generate a list of all characters that are used in the translations. That can be used to determine the minimal set of required characters.
With kind regards, Roland Clobus
