Thank you a lot for the update Christian, one question, though, what happens with the debian-install manual for Sarge? When is the "Last Call for Translations" due? I've heard some strange statements that these need to be done before initrd is uploaded, for some unknown reason.
This is better been discussed with Frans Pop (aragorn@tiscali.nl) who is in charge of the manual. I CC him.
please followup this discussion as a crosspost to -boot and -i18n which sounds the most appropriate.
Even though 19 languages are almost 100% for all stages, currently there are only 5 languages which have supassed 90% translation status for the manual [1]. This is worse than the woody release, in which the manual and release notes were available for 10-11 languages.
Of course, some of this work (for example Release Notes) can be done after the release since it doesn't affect it. However, the manual is bound to be present in the CD-ROMs somehow. Isn't it?
IIRC, the "enough complete" translations will be on the CDs. Other translations will be kept up-to-date on the web site.
