Re: Intent to NMU dtc-xen to fix pending po-debconf l10n bugs
Hi,
Please don't upload anything concerning this package. We are very close
to a release of both DTC and DTC-Xen, please bare with us, thanks.
Note that when both dtc and dtc-xen are out, it would be greatly
appreciated to have you guys check the translation. A quite big effort
has been made into translating DTC itself, which has more than 1500 strings.
DTC is currently fully translated into: French, German, Simplified
Chinese, Swedish, Brazilian Portuguese and Spanish. Russian is nearly
completed, help would be appreciated so it can be finished. Partial work
also exists for Dutch, Hungarian, Italian, Portuguese, etc.
Anyone wishing to help in translating DTC can read this:
