Re: Language setting
Hi!
Ok, now I can understand the problem, it was a "naive" question!
I have another question (I do not know if this is the right place to
ask), I am a collaborator of the project Debianitalia
(http://www.debianitalia.org/). The aim of Debianitalia is to spread
the use of Debian in Italy and to help people using Debian.
We have a News section and we often translate the Debian News, see for example:
http://www.debianitalia.org/news/debian/rilasciata-debian-60-squeeze
http://www.debianitalia.org/news/debian/debian-volatile-sostituiti-da-nuovi-archivi-di-aggiornamenti
and many more. We want to know if (and how) it's possible to
contribute to Debian.org sending the translations of the articles that
are not yet been translated.
Cheers,
Marco
P.S. In the carbon copying there is Andrea Mignini, the webmaster of
debianitalia.
