Norwegian Bokmal translators, I'm waiting for you...:-)

Hi, I have been responsible for checking in norwegian bokmål and nynorsk translations. I've been away this weekend and now I am at work. Here I don't have ssh out. But you can get the latest bokmål and nynorsk translations from [1] and [2]. I think bokmål should bee finished now. I see that Knut Y. have have committed a patch this weekend. Håvard [1] http://cvs.skolelinux.no/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/skolelinux/i18n/other/nb/debian...] http://cvs.skolelinux.no/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/skolelinux/i18n/other/nn/debian...

I've just commited back to d-i. I just hope this giant file was up-to-date itself)

BTW, you working on a giant file where all d-i translations are merged is a great thing.

I was just working on scripts for doing this for all languages in Debian-Installer. See script/l10n-utilities in d-i SVN tree.

I just tested the update-translations by using your Bokmal PO file as a reference and this worked like a charm. I even made Steve Langasek "angry" because I updated aboot-installer just after he uploaded it..:-) (no harm...we just joked about this...)

Some day, if you want to try my script, just download a full up-to-date SVN tree for debian-installer.

The go in packages/ and run "../scripts/l10n-utilities <path>/debian-installer.po nb"

This should update all nb.po files with translations from <path>/debian-installer.po

Beware, this is quite incompletely tested stuff and probably very badly written shell script (no error handling for instance)...

But I think this is already quite useful.
