Excuse my asking, and sorry if this has been discussed before, but why Portuguese isn't considered tier 1, while Czech is? According to Wikipedia, there are over 220 milion Portuguese speakers (South America, Europe, Africa and Asia), 186 milion only in Brazil, while Czech has only 12 milion (Central Europe only). We're still waiting for this year's census, but I think SUSE is ranked #3 or #4 in number of users Brazil. What are the implications of not having Portuguese as tier 1? -- % Mauricio Teixeira (netmask) % mteixeira{a}webset{d}net <> Maceio/AL/BR % http://mteixeira.webset.net <> http://pmping.sf.net --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Becarefull here, do not mistake Portuguese with Brazillian Portuguese, as these two are treated differently in SUSE (as it should be). I know that Brazillian Portuguese is maintained by Novell, so I think it actually belongs to tier 1, no? At least in terms of SUSE translation it is done by Novell employees. So probably PT_BR is in tier 1 and PT is on tier 2. But it is best to ne answered by whoi knows best.

Andreas Jaeger already answered he simply forgot to mention, because pt_BR is tier 1 already. -- % Mauricio Teixeira (netmask) % mteixeira{a}webset{d}net <> Maceio/AL/BR % http://mteixeira.webset.net <> http://pmping.sf.net --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I saw that immediatly from your name. When I sais that, it was more for the non-portuguese-speaking to be aware ;)
