if your language is not included in anaconda installer...

[Josep Puigdemont]

Hi!

I filed the bug asking for the inclusion of all languages over the 90%
of translated strings of the essential packages. The bug number is
119395, which is now closed:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=119395

For those languages that have not yet been included (bn, hi, ta, and vi,
as the time of this writing), I'd like to remind you that, as stated in
the bug report, you need to file for your language if you want it to be
included, indicating:

Full language name:
Short name:
Default Locale:
Default keyboard map:
Console font:
Timezone:

I did it by filing a bug with category "enhancement" to anaconda. I
don't know if it is a good example, but you can check it here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=119525

I'm writing here because I personally didn't know I had to file my
language, and thus it was left out from FC 2 test 2 during installation
(seems that Alan missed that too :).

I think it would be sad if after all your efforts your language was not
included [in the installation process] just because it was not filed
properly. Of course one shouldn't request the inclusion of a language
which has not yet translated 90 % of the strings of the essential
packages.

Regards,

/Josep

Yes I didnt find out early enough. You might also want to check the 
translations are merged into the packages. With cy we have several 
packages like up2date where the maintainer doesn't appear to have merged
translations yet.

That should help avoid missing any

Note that the additional requirement not stated here is that there
needs to be a scalable font in the distribution with proper coverage
for the locale; without that, it won't be enabled (as there's no point
in letting the user choose a language that won't render. :) )

Well one of mine was closed with "***** autoconf" 8)

system-config-printer and system-config-user seem fixed in rawhide

Thanks Alan, indeed I missed this one too. I'll check this up.
Is there any special reason why the maintainer wouldn't merge, or it is
simply because they already have too much to do?

In this mail: 
http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-trans-list/2004-January/msg00011.html
Sarah Wang proposed 90% for:

anaconda/anaconda-online-help
anaconda/anaconda-po
comps
firstboot
rhgb
redhat-config-packages
redhat-artwork
redhat-menus

But anaconda-po is the part that accounts for most of the strings iirc.

That's in order to have your language supported (included) during the
installation process.

You can see the status of your language in
http://carolina.mff.cuni.cz/~trmac/fedora-i18n.html
Look the last row at the bottom (labeled "Essential") for your
language's column.

It might be good to keep our eyes on Fedora Core 1 instead of RedHat, 
already Fedora is so much ahead in these things, if you have troubles to 
maintain, update, with yum and downloading iso's from mirrors in your 
neighorbood, I might give you a hand as being more a systems programmer 
than a linguist.

sincerly,
