Description Stig-Ørjan Smelror 2017-04-20 20:20:59 CEST 
Description of problem:

I downloaded sta2 and installed it, choosing Norwegian language.

When installing GRUB, a message comes up that mixes Norwegian and English.

Please see attached image.

Comment 2 Marja Van Waes 2017-04-21 11:07:21 CEST 
It seems that string did get translated in Nynorsk

http://gitweb.mageia.org/software/drakx/tree/perl-install/install/share/po/nn.po#n1516

with "Førebur installasjon"

However, not in Bokmål

http://gitweb.mageia.org/software/drakx/tree/perl-install/install/share/po/nb.po#n1522

where there is no translation, so that the English string is used.

Are you indeed using  Bokmål?

If so, can you help us with the correct Bokmål translation of 
  "Preparing initial startup program..." ?

Norsk Bokmål

Preparing initial startup program... -> Forbereder installasjon...

It isn't 100% correct in either NB nor NN, but I translated the NB to be the same as NN.

For me, a more correct translation would be

Norsk Bokmål
Forbereder installasjon av oppstartslaster

Norsk Nynorsk
Førebur installasjon av oppstartslastar

"Forbereder installasjon" is too vague and doesn't tell the user what is happening.

I'd recommend the use of the second option as it is more informative.

Yuri already did that.

Closing this bug report as fixed.

Note that drakx-installer-stage2 will need to be rebuilt for the updated Norwegian string to be visible in installer.

I'm not sure that will be done before Mageia 6 RC is released, but it will surely be done before Mageia 6 final is released.
