Description of problem: Some parts of the partition creation screen aren't actually translated in the installation process of the Installation DVD for x86_64 systems. For examples : * The dropdown menu in the partition method selection, the user cand read, between other options translated in French : "Resize existing partition and create default layout in free space". I think it could be replaced by "Redimensionner les partitions existantes et créer un agencement par défaut dans l'espace libre." but it's a literal translation. * The user can read 'Encrypt system' at the left of a checkbox. * The title of the second section of this screen is : "What drive would you like to boot the installation from ?" which could be translated by "Depuis quel disque, voulez-vous démarrer l'installation ?" Concerning the 'user creation' step in the First Boot Process, it isn't translated at all. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora Core 9 Beta 1 How reproducible: Always with the installation DVD of Fedora Core 9 Beta 1, when selecting French language, at the second screen of the installation Steps to Reproduce: 1. Begin the installation process of Fedora Core 9 Beta 1 from the x86_64 Installation DVD 2. Select 'Français' as language when asked, at the second screen of the installer. Actual results: See the description of the problem Expected results: These interfaces, and other ones, in the installer and first-boot process, fully translated in French. Additional info: None
Anaconda was not fully translated when 9 beta went out. It is now : https://translate.fedoraproject.org/module/anaconda#master You should check if there are still translation problems with the latest rawhide snapshot available from : http://torrent.fedoraproject.org/ Thanks
Well, I tried the last Live-DVD (2008-04-04) for x86_64. First, it didn't start with french locales. I had to execute the following command to make it work : [fedora@localhost ~]$ LANG=C liveinst --lang=fr_FR FATAL: Module md not found. 0 logical volume(s) in volume group "Fedora" now active Probing for video card: nVidia Corporation GeForce 8600M GT 15:06:02 Starting graphical installation... Without the definition of the locale (LANG=...), liveinst starts then crashes before showing the first step of the installer. Examples : --- $ LANG=fr_FR.utf8 liveinst FATAL: Module md not found. 0 logical volume(s) in volume group "Fedora" now active Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/sbin/anaconda", line 869, in <module> probeHW(opts, x_already_set, xserver) File "/usr/sbin/anaconda", line 456, in probeHW xserver.probeHW(forceDriver=opts.xdriver) File "/usr/lib64/python2.5/site-packages/rhpxl/xserver.py", line 91, in probeHW cardstr = _("Probing for video card: %s") % (cardstr,) UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 1: ordinal not in range(128) -- $ liveinst --lang=fr_FR FATAL: Module md not found. 0 logical volume(s) in volume group "Fedora" now active Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/sbin/anaconda", line 869, in <module> probeHW(opts, x_already_set, xserver) File "/usr/sbin/anaconda", line 456, in probeHW xserver.probeHW(forceDriver=opts.xdriver) File "/usr/lib64/python2.5/site-packages/rhpxl/xserver.py", line 91, in probeHW cardstr = _("Probing for video card: %s") % (cardstr,) UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 1: ordinal not in range(128) -- $ LANG=C liveinst --lang=fr_FR FATAL: Module md not found. 0 logical volume(s) in volume group "Fedora" now active Probing for video card: nVidia Corporation GeForce 8600M GT 15:06:02 Starting graphical installation... --- Now about the translation itself : All the problems spotted in Fedora Core 9 Beta 1 installer weren't spotted in the Rawhide 2008-04-04. The only problem spotted could be an anaconda bug but i'm not sure : * When the installer claims that there's not enough disk space to copy the image on the root partition, the button 'Précédent' leads to the copy of the image, which is weird because it just told me it couldn't done it (And it crashed at the end...). Does the bug comes from anaconda or is it an erroneous translation of the button ?

Against anaconda or against the LiveCD component, i don't know. > Does the bug comes from anaconda or is it an erroneous translation of the button ? Could you launch the liveinst in english then and look at the original description of the button please ? I'm not sure to know where you encounter the problem. Thanks
I created bug #441053
Anaconda and firstboot French translations in master branch are completed. Closing.
