Description Parag Nemade 2009-04-07 05:35:09 UTC

Description of problem:
Kashmiri (devanagari) language is not available in the anaconda menu at install
time. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
anaconda-11.5.0.40-1.i586

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start Fedora installation
2. Proceed to the step that asks you to choose the language to use in the
install process


Actual results:
Kashmiri (devanagari) languages are not in the list

Expected results:
Kashmiri (devanagari) languages should be in the list

Additional info:  
I see translations are not available there. So I am not sure how anaconda maintainers like to handle this bug. 
But I thought as we have got locale available and font is available now and there is work going on to add inscript keymap for this language, I see its good to have this listed in anaconda.

Comment 1 Parag Nemade 2009-04-07 06:03:09 UTC

To add this language to anaconda we just need following line to be added to lang-table.

Kashmiri (Devanagari)	ks@devanagari	none	ks_IN.UTF-8@devanagari	us	Asia/Calcutta


Thanks to Rahul and Pravin for their valuable input for above line.

Comment 2 Chris Lumens 2009-04-08 19:16:31 UTC

We don't usually add new language support to anaconda until the translation is well underway.  Once the transifex stats show that to be the case, I'll be happy to add the above line.  Thanks for providing that information, by the way.

Comment 3 Parag Nemade 2009-04-09 05:42:58 UTC

thanks for your suggestions. I will leave this bug status resolution to you.

Comment 4 Chris Lumens 2009-05-19 15:59:47 UTC

Giving this one a second look... does this actually require translation work, or is it just to add another region to the list?  If there is actually a translation to be done, we can go ahead and add it now if you have a translator lined up.

Comment 5 Bug Zapper 2009-06-09 13:23:20 UTC

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 11 development cycle.
Changing version to '11'.

Comment 6 Parag Nemade 2009-06-25 09:19:45 UTC

I don't have translator lined up. So adding this language to anaconda will not make its users to see anaconda and desktop in their own language.

Comment 7 Chris Lumens 2009-09-04 21:03:32 UTC

Still nothing in transifex...
