[Bug 728411] New: Missing YaST translations other than English and German (e.g. French)
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=728411 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=728411#c0 Summary: Missing YaST translations other than English and German (e.g. French) Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: RC 2 Platform: i586 OS/Version: SuSE Other Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Live Medium AssignedTo: coolo@suse.com ReportedBy: audardg@gmail.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:7.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/7.0.1 The installation of openSUSE 11.2 from the KDE LiveCD is in English, even if the user chose another language (e.g. French) in Grub, before launching the LiveCD. There is no room to include the translations of Plasma Workspace, but the installer at least should be translated. Some parts of the installation process, such as the licence, are however translated, but most of it is in English. Some other linux distributions' liveCD ship with the installer translated in all supported languages, while the desktop environment is only available in a few languages. Installing an OS involves steps such as formatting your harddrive, which can be very stressful when the language used is not your native one. That is why I consider this to be a major bug.

And the installer is using a lot of libraries, whose translations we'd also need. If you know what to remove from the live cd, we can talk. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

This is obviously a tough decision you had to make. I'm not involved in the openSUSE community, therefore I have no legitimacy to tell you what to include or what to remove. I can however make you some suggestions: Personnally, I would remove the German translations for the KDE workspace, and include as much translations as possible for the installer. I know many openSUSE's users are from Germany, but most German speak a perfect English and I think the installer is really the priority. More importantly, I would make it clear in the announcement that the KDE liveCD (and the Gnome one if this is the case) supports only a limited number of languages, and that people who don't speak those language are encouraged to install from the DVD. That way, the media in each country would direct to the right installation image. It could maybe even be included on the download page, as many people go directly to this page, without reading. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
