Robert, questions for you at the end of this mail.


Thanks for forwarding this, Christian. :)
OK, I've read the doc., and I've grabbed the POT file from HTTP. I've been trying to check the package out via SVN, using my Alioth username, but the connection keeps timing out. Does that mean (in an indirect way) that I 
don't have write access, and should use anonymous access?


You definitely have write access as you have write access to the whole
D-I repository.

If the conneciton is timing out, this is probably something else.
Connection working today (Yay!), so it must have been something temporary-but-annoying™. I've checked out the PO dir., and added an initial translation. I'll update it if the answers to my q.s below change anything.
Is this correct? I don't know if NSIS supports Vietnamese, since I don't use Windows, and wouldn't if I were paid to. (I mean, unless it were a really, really large amout of money... Then I would take the money and use 
it to install a decent operating system on lots of computers!)
I know NSIS messes up our OpenOffice.org installation in some peculiar way: apparently NSIS doesn't support UTF-8 yet. Talk about "behind the times"... 
that is ARCHAIC.

Both these references provide only "1258" for Vietnamese. Normally, our language requires UTF-8. 1258 would be a legacy encoding, pre- UTF-8. I would rather avoid if it possible, but if this is NSIS, we can't, since it 
doesn't support UTF-8. <sigh>
So, do I input "windows-1258" for the first string, and "cp1258" for the 
second?


Let's ask Robert Millan.
