Hello everybody,
will there be a dsl translation in other languages ? If not, why ? Because translations are difficult to do (technically I mean) ?
Because transaltion needs time and people ?
Because a choice af languages means an heavier distribution ?
For the 2nd point, Im' voluntereer ;)
Bye
Eric

DSL is by and large English-only because of its size - all the extra language data could add several megabytes to the distribution. Moreover, as the language data has already been removed, it could prove difficult to add it back again.

Perhaps language specific versions could be done...
that way it should not increase size too much.
however it would require much more storage on the mirrors.

You mean a distribution by language ? i.e. one dsl-english, one dsl-french, one dsl-deutsch, ...
Is it possible ? Is it hard to do ? It wouldn't give a heavier distrib, but at each new issue, the work would be hard no ?

Is it possible to get the 'other' languages (which I guess already exist in KNOPPIX) as additionals?
