Hello, According to the Etch release schedule: On Mon 7 August 2006: freeze base, non-essential toolchain (such as CDBS [Common Debian Build System]) po4a is now part of the non-essential toolchain. So I intent to release a new version before the week-end (let say on Thursday) Here are the current status of the translations: po/bin (pot: 24K) af: 22 translated messages, 9 fuzzy translations, 120 untranslated messages. ar: 1 translated message, 150 untranslated messages. ca: 121 translated messages, 12 fuzzy translations, 18 untranslated messages. de: 52 translated messages, 19 fuzzy translations, 80 untranslated messages. cs: 11 translated messages, 13 fuzzy translations, 127 untranslated messages. eo: 24 translated messages, 2 fuzzy translations, 125 untranslated messages. es: 116 translated messages, 15 fuzzy translations, 20 untranslated messages. eu: 11 translated messages, 2 fuzzy translations, 138 untranslated messages. fr: 147 translated messages, 2 fuzzy translations, 2 untranslated messages. he: 3 translated messages, 1 fuzzy translation, 147 untranslated messages. it: 141 translated messages, 8 fuzzy translations, 2 untranslated messages. ku: 4 translated messages, 1 fuzzy translation, 146 untranslated messages. nb: 53 translated messages, 14 fuzzy translations, 84 untranslated messages. nl: 12 translated messages, 2 fuzzy translations, 137 untranslated messages. pl: 148 translated messages, 2 fuzzy translations, 1 untranslated message. pt: 10 translated messages, 2 fuzzy translations, 139 untranslated messages. ru: 148 translated messages, 2 fuzzy translations, 1 untranslated message. sl: 6 translated messages, 8 fuzzy translations, 137 untranslated messages. sv: 139 translated messages, 2 fuzzy translations, 10 untranslated messages. uk: 5 translated messages, 4 fuzzy translations, 142 untranslated messages. pt_BR: 20 translated messages, 4 fuzzy translations, 127 untranslated messages. po/pod (pot: 224K) ca: 844 translated messages, 85 fuzzy translations, 156 untranslated messages. es: 844 translated messages, 85 fuzzy translations, 156 untranslated messages. fr: 1085 translated messages. it: 293 translated messages, 80 fuzzy translations, 712 untranslated messages. pl: 1085 translated messages. If you intend to update a translation but won't have time before Tuesday, just post a mail (we can delay the release or plan a dot release). This version fixes 2 Debian bugs, and has some improvements for the man module. Maybe I will also fix the current issue with mdoc (NAME section translated) in this version. Kind Regards, -- Nekral
