Some notes for translators ========================== There are three directories containing translations: po/ Contains the phrases used in the tasksel program. tasks/po/ Contain the phrases used in (a few of) the tasks themselves. debian/po/ Contains the debconf templates. Your language should be listed in LANGS and LANGS_DESC variables in Makefile. (LANGS is for translations in po/, and LANGS_DESC is for translations in tasks/po/.) You should also translate the Descriptions of the task-* packages. These are shown to the user when tasksel runs, so are actually the most important thing to translate. This can be done via the The Debian Description Translation Project: When translating the Descriptions, the ones that matter are those tasks that are displayed to the user. Translating the Descriptions of the language-specific tasks, which are not shown to the user, is not a priority.
