The Debian web pages in Catalan
This web page contains useful information for users, developers and translators who speak Catalan.Debian mailing lists in Catalan
Currently there are two Debian lists in Catalan:
debian-user-catalan, a user list for speakers of Catalan.
This list is used for discussing and solving problems with the use of the Debian system, and for any announcements that are useful for users (organization of meetings, etc).
To subscribe to this list, please send a message to debian-user-catalan-request@lists.debian.org with
subscribe <your_mail_address>
in the message body (not in the subject), or use the web form to subscribe.
To unsubscribe, send a message to the same address with
unsubscribe <your_mail_address>
in the message body, or use the web form to unsubscribe.
debian-l10n-catalan, the coordination list of Debian's Catalan translation effort.
Ongoing translations are organized and discussed on this list.
To subscribe to this list, please send a message to debian-l10n-catalan-request@lists.debian.org with

The Debian Catalan translation project
This project aims to translate to Catalan the Debian web pages, the manuals and the Debian-specific tools and programs, like the installation system or dpkg.
The group's coordinator is Jordi Mallach <jordi@debian.org>. The most direct way to contact the group is to write an email to our translation list, to which all the participating translators are subscribed.
In the future you'll be able to find a glossary of Debian-specific terms that we have been compiling while we translated texts and software.
Translation status
This is a probably incomplete list of the work that has been done.
Catalan support in the Debian installer.
Debian 3.0 "woody" has been released with complete Catalan support in the install system. This includes the "dbootstrap" installer and "base-config", the Install Manual, Release Notes and other manuals.
Coordination of the debian-l10n-catalan translation team.
To smooth and speed the work we use a mail based automatic coordination system. You can see the current status of assigned translations on the debian-l10n-catalan translation team coordination website.
Catalan support in various Debian tools.
Debian 3.0 also shipped with Catalan support in the major Debian-specific tools, such as "dpkg", "debconf" and "modconf". Aside from these translated programs, Debian has Catalan support in many more applications, like GNOME or KDE, which are translated by non-Debian people. You can have a look at the general state of the Catalan translations of the applications included in Debian in the Central Debian translation statistics.
Translation of debconf templates for various packages.
Although we haven't made much progress in this area, we are trying to translate the debconf templates to Catalan. You can see the current status of the Catalan templates in the debconf templates translation statistics.
Translation of the web pages on www.debian.org.
Web pages are also being slowly translated. Currently, the most important web pages are already translated, but there are still many pending. You can see the status of this effort in the Debian website translation statistics.
