I am working for translating sysinstall messages, release notes and help files to Korean for 4 years, from 2.2.1-RELEASE. I would be very happy if it will be included in -current and RELENG_4 system. Sometimes the release of I18N sysinstall(and former PAO) was delayed until next release, so if we can release I18N sysinstall timely for each release, it would help non-english users for FreeBSD very much. No other linux or BSD distribution(except localized ones) has such installer. It is very attractive thing for novice FreeBSD users to install in their mother tongue, even if he can understand English. And until libh is really working(hopefully 5.0-RELEASE?), I18N sysinstall is a good alternative. If we have it in -current, it would be relatively easy for debug and improve. I18N sysinstall still have a few bugs to be fixed although Tatsumi and other some CJK developers work. > Finally, still many thanks and applause to Tatsumi and others > for this work. > > The same from me to them too.
