Hi Christian, Thank you for step to step assistance. Please, receive the UTF-8 encoded file with the name of the Tajik language. Here is some more info that might be helpful: Tajik keyboard layouts (standard and legacy) should be already there, if not more details can be found here http://www.kde.tj/?q=node/20 As for the needed characters, Tajik alphabet is based on Russian alphabet, with 6 special characters that must be shown across the system: [AB07 "ӣ Ӣ"], [AC02 "ҷ Ҷ"], [AD02 "қ Қ"], [AD09 "ҳ Ҳ"], [AE11 "ғ Ғ"], [AE12 "ӯ Ӯ"]. I am not sure which font to use, but any font(s) which can support all Tajik characters in standard, bold and italic. Please, let me know if additional info needed.

That's great news. Tajik was among our "missing languages" and Tajikistan one of the blank spots on my quite well known worldmap of supported languages in D-I..:-) So, let's start to go through the new language process (http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/doc/i18n/ch03.html), which you indeed initiated.... > Below is information, which may help to add new language (Tajik > language) to Debian.

For l10n lists, it's usually encouraged to build a small community first (eventually by using a mailign list not hosted on Debian servers), then request the creation of the list. Otherwise, experience shows that we have too many empty mailing lists. But that's often debated as a list is also likely to attract contributors : chicken and egg problem. Anyway, all these informations complete steps 1 and 2 of the new language process. 3.1. First contact with Debian Installer development team 3.2. New language identification The bnext step is "3.3. Locale checking/writing ": http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/doc/i18n/ch03s03.html The Tajik locale already exists in Debian: cperrier@mykerinos:~/src/debian/debian-installer/trunk/installer/doc/i18n(master) $ ls -l /usr/share/i18n/locales/tg_TJ -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6377 juin 30 01:34 /usr/share/i18n/locales/tg_TJ So, step 3 is completed too..:-) Now for step 4. Can you send me a small UTF-8 encoded file with the name of the Tajik language, in Tajik. That's what will be recorded in the language choosing step in Debian Installer.
