[karmic] alpha-5, translation template is out of date, does not include new slideshow strings or encryption option

[Tomasz Dominikowski]

Binary package hint: debian-installer

The new slideshow strings are not available for translation. Additionally, many other strings are not available for translation either. Such as:

"Select your location, so that..."
"Zone:"
(probably "Region:" too, but it's the same in Polish so I can't be sure)
"Erase and use the entire disk"

All the buttons in manual partitioning:

"New Partition Table..."
"Add..."
"Change..."
"Delete"
"Revert"

The "Cancel" button when modifying a partition.

"Ext4 journaling file system" - from the list of available file systems (all the rest is translatable)

"Require my password to log in"
"Require my password to log in and to decrypt my home folder"

All of them are very visible to the end-user, please make this a high priority issue. A new, complete template needs to be imported to Rosetta.

Virtually all of these have been intentionally moved from debian-installer to here:

For some context, see:

The ext4 string is still in debian-installer, but since that string comes from Debian we don't accept translations for it in Ubuntu anyway - you need to get it translated in Debian. (The installer is special in this regard since it is not subject to language packs.)

Thanks for the information and sorry for bothering.
