The packages with name "yast2-trans-??" contain translations for the language ?? for YaST2.
Many of them are done by volunteers, thus you are right:
The degree of completeness varies a lot.
yes. Often specific parts are left untranslated (e.g., printer database, last minute changes) which don't have that much impact on usablity -- the native language user will not suffer from those missing messages.
Unfortunately one cannot see here how complete these translations are.
Yes, that's difficult. Here are some statistic files I just installed (it's at least an approximation); available after the next mirror update: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/noarch/i18n/yast-8.2-final With a rough HTML summary: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/noarch/i18n/yast-8.2-final/stats.html Here is the text version: YaST Translation Statistics =========================== ar Translated : 23 Fuzzy : 232 Untranslated : 8239 -------------------- All strings : 8494 bg Translated : 4471 Fuzzy : 31 Untranslated : 3992 -------------------- All strings : 8494 bs Translated : 717 Fuzzy : 1959 Untranslated : 5818 -------------------- All strings : 8494 ca Translated : 1769 Fuzzy : 3757 Untranslated : 2968 -------------------- All strings : 8494 cs Translated : 8494 Fuzzy : 0 Untranslated : 0 -------------------- All strings : 8494 da Translated : 4725 Fuzzy : 2208 Untranslated : 1561 -------------------- All strings : 8494 de Translated : 8494 Fuzzy : 0 Untranslated : 0 -------------------- All strings : 8494 el_GR Translated : 8454 Fuzzy : 34 Untranslated : 6 -------------------- All strings : 8494 en_GB Translated : 833 Fuzzy : 2143 Untranslated : 5518 -------------------- All strings : 8494 en_US Translated : 45 Fuzzy : 18 Untranslated : 8431 -------------------- All strings : 8494 es Translated : 8455 Fuzzy : 30 Untranslated : 9 -------------------- All strings : 8494 fr Translated : 8449 Fuzzy : 39 Untranslated : 6 -------------------- All strings : 8494 gl Translated : 976 Fuzzy : 3311 Untranslated : 4207 -------------------- All strings : 8494 hr Translated : 400 Fuzzy : 1933 Untranslated : 6161 -------------------- All strings : 8494 hu Translated : 8454 Fuzzy : 31 Untranslated : 9 -------------------- All strings : 8494 id Translated : 68 Fuzzy : 824 Untranslated : 7602 -------------------- All strings : 8494 it Translated : 8458 Fuzzy : 30 Untranslated : 6 -------------------- All strings : 8494 ja Translated : 7243 Fuzzy : 444 Untranslated : 807 -------------------- All strings : 8494 ko Translated : 8453 Fuzzy : 35 Untranslated : 6 -------------------- All strings : 8494 lt Translated : 7771 Fuzzy : 516 Untranslated : 207 -------------------- All strings : 8494 nl Translated : 8459 Fuzzy : 28 Untranslated : 7 -------------------- All strings : 8494 no Translated : 2760 Fuzzy : 3265 Untranslated : 2469 -------------------- All strings : 8494 pt Translated : 602 Fuzzy : 3239 Untranslated : 4653 -------------------- All strings : 8494 pt_BR Translated : 8453 Fuzzy : 35 Untranslated : 6 -------------------- All strings : 8494 ro Translated : 26 Fuzzy : 15 Untranslated : 8453 -------------------- All strings : 8494 ru Translated : 2041 Fuzzy : 2761 Untranslated : 3692 -------------------- All strings : 8494 sk Translated : 8494 Fuzzy : 0 Untranslated : 0 -------------------- All strings : 8494 sl_SI Translated : 8199 Fuzzy : 173 Untranslated : 122 -------------------- All strings : 8494 sv Translated : 8455 Fuzzy : 33 Untranslated : 6 -------------------- All strings : 8494 tr Translated : 6810 Fuzzy : 1089 Untranslated : 595 -------------------- All strings : 8494 zh Translated : 417 Fuzzy : 2126 Untranslated : 5951 -------------------- All strings : 8494 zh_CN Translated : 5589 Fuzzy : 2130 Untranslated : 775 -------------------- All strings : 8494 zh_TW Translated : 221 Fuzzy : 1669 Untranslated : 6604 -------------------- All strings : 8494 -- Linux frechet 2.4.20-4GB #1 Tue Apr 8 13:00:26 UTC 2003 i686 GNU/Linux 12:23pm up 35 days 3:55, 18 users, load average: 0.12, 0.11, 0.09 work : ke@suse.de Karl Eichwalder home : keichwa@gmx.net
