Today, I activated Northern Sami translations in D-I after the initial effort by Børre Gaup.

So, starting from today, these translations will be able to spread out among all D-I packages and, as a consequence, will also be in future Ubuntu and Skolelinux installers (the exact timing will depend on their respective schedules).

D-I will include these Northern Sami translations in the upcoming beta3 release (don't ask me for a schedule, though!)

More information for readers outside Norway (I'm not a specialist, please correct me if I'm wrong):

Sami languages (among which the Northern one is by far the most spoken) are a family of languages spoken by the Sami people, who live in Norway, Finland and Sweden. The Sami people were called "Lapp" people in the past but that name is considered derogatory (i.e. negatively connotated). The estimated number of speakers is 21000 from Ethnologue (15000 in Norway). The language is teached in the Norwegian school system, which explains why the Skolelinux project needs it to be supported.

Northern Sami will then take the title of the "less widely spoken language supported by D-I" to Icelandic...:-)
