[bubulle@debian.org: d-i translators: yet another bit of work for you]



ciao,
non ho controllato se newt ha gia' le traduzioni in italiano dei widget, se non
le avesse forse e' il caso di farle! (poca cosa comunque, se nessun'altro puo'
le faccio io, non ci sono problemi)

(not only targeted at d-i translators indeed as this impacts all
debconf translations)

Very easy, this time...:-). But very important, imho.

Second stage installation (all what happens after rebooting) uses
genuine debconf for user interaction.

On several platforms, it then uses the "dialog" interface.

Thus, we need to translate this interface widgets.

For this, you need to get the "newt" package translated. It is
maintained by Alastair McKinstry, so except very high responsiveness
to internationalisation things...:)

For this, you need to grab the "newt" package sources (apt-get source
newt) and then look in the po/ directory (NOT debian/po which does not
exist!).

Then create your own xx.po file by using an existing file as a model.

Then file a BR against the newt source package with the new file
attached.

This should be very quick work, as you only have to translated
Yes/No/Ok/Cancel...:-) (be careful to use very commonly accepted
translations for these-->look at Gnome/KDE....or even Windows)

As a side effect, this will "translate" these widgets in each and
every debconf template for any package, even if it's not translated to
your language!
