Hello,

Next time when new ISOs are available to the public, could you please
also post announcement at cooker-i18n, and provide rpm list (.lst) and
supported languages info (.langs) along with ISO files?

Most translators might have also subscribed cooker mailing list, but
not all of them. It would be helpful if important anouncements are
also posted here at cooker-i18n so that we are aware of major
development progress and changes, for example, the schedule of 2011
release is modified along with the 2011 tech preview announcement.

Package lists and language info are important for non-english speakers
to be aware of which locales are supported in the iso that is going to
be downloaded. For previous versions of Mandriva One, it's a
complicated process to localize a livecd because translation message
files of none-supported languages are purged or removed from the
livecd. However, as the 2011 tech preview is known to be made with
livecd-tools instead of draklive, this situalation might have been
changed. Still, lacking of information regarding to i18n in the tech
preview should be addressed in the following alpha, beta, and release
candidates.

Best Regards, and

Happy Chinese New Year,
