wow, you're very fast. I need much more time to translate and always lose
interest after maximal 3 or 4 pages per day :-)

Yep. They do already, check it out.

I just updated the PO files again. Status:
vi: 779 translated messages, 20 fuzzy translations, 18 untranslated messages.

I think that the maintainer or other persons who do some minor updates to the
English part should report this to this list. Look every 2 or 3 days for the
status but large changes should really no longer happen.

No, but the online document can be found at
http://www.debian.org/releases/testing/i386/release-notes/index.vi.html

It looks strange for me (am I missing fonts?). Can you check it? Is it OK?

PDF version:

It suffers from the same problem as the Romanian one, it misses e.g. page
numbers. But I'm sure this will be fixed some day and it is currently
readable ...

The entry page is

I will add Vietnamese ...

I'm sorry to hear this. I wasn't aware of it.

But you do a really huge work :-)

Thanks,
