Well, the "around" for Iceland is really small..:-) (in terms of number of
people)

I already pointed David to the early discussions that took place in
debian-user-icelandic about Debian translations. Up to now, the interest to
translate the installer in Icelandic was not that high because many
Icelandic geeks share the unfortunately common feeling that, as most of the
people in their country speak English, this is not needed (which is a
complete mistake if one thinks way far ahead from the geeky
community....even people with good skills in a foreign language want to use
tools in their *native* language).

I guess there is some l10n effort for end-user applications in Icelandic,
but David is probably aware of this...or will soon contact some of them
anyway.
