  Not yet. First we have to finish the non-internationalized version, as =
we
  are already out of schedule for Debian 2.0. Then internationalizing it
  will be very easy.

  There's a little problem I've been thinking about, but don't have an ea=
sy
  solution yet. The root disk is already stuffed almost to capacity, so w=
e
  won't be able to put a few message catalogs for the different languages=

  we will support.

  One solution is building a root floppy for each language, but that woul=
d
  be a waste of space in the CDs and mirror sites. =


  A better solution is making the installation system read the messages f=
ile =

  from the boot medium, be it the rescue floppy, CD, ... =

  As the rescue floppy uses a MS-DOS filesystem it will be easy for the u=
sers =

  to copy a different "messages" file over the default one. Also, the
  "messages" files for the different languages can be put in the boot/
  directory of the CDs without wasting too much space. The problem is
  defining a friendly interface for choosing the language at boot time.

  Well, comments and better ideas are always appreciated! :-)
