Hi everyone,

as some of you have already noticed, we have slightly changed the language
support in openSUSE 10.3. To give you an update of what languages will be
supported on which media set, here is a short summary.

KDE / GNOME CD: The 1CD's is English-only, _BUT_ you can get all packages
  supporting your language from the online repositories!

DVD (download): Supports English, Portuguese (Brazil and Main), French,
  Italian, Spanish, German, Chinese (Simpl. & Trad.), Japanese, Russian,
  Czech, Hungarian, Polish, Finnish, Danish, Swedish and Dutch.

Language Addon: Has all the languages that didn't fit on the DVD, ie. is
  only to be used with the DVD!

DVD (retail): Will contain all languages available.

So, how did we choose the languages for the DVD? We basically took Novell's
Tier 1 and Tier 2 languages, excluding Korean, which we didn't want to ship
with only 58% of the strings translated (stats from i18n.opensuse.org).


Best,
Christoph
