If yes, this templates will be translated with the DDTP. See http://ddtp.debian.org/debconf/maintainer/boot@lists.debian.org.html as example. And yes, the debian-installer packages have a higher priority. (just for your info: The user see this, if the install/admin/... a debian system his self (in this order:) - the installer - debconf templates - package description I began my translation work 2-3 years ago. At this time we use BF as installer and this installer was translated (into german), debconf templates not. I start with the debconf template coordination web page, we get >80 % translated (into german), now I started with package description. You see, I use the right order. If you use some patches and some hacks, today you can get a >80-90% german debiani, includeing tasksel. ) > Please, having infraestructure to translated that stuff does not make it > high priority IMHO.

And IMHO the new installer use this. Not?
