Norwegian translation support added to EasyOS

April 23, 2023 — BarryK

Easy up to the current release, 5.2.2, does not support Norwegian "no" translation. Forum member 'tallboy' asked about this, and I replied here:

OK, will just add "no". I don't want to have three different two-letter codes for Norwegian, so if you are one of those "dialect fanatics", you will have to tolerate "no".

That is now done, so early bootup in the initrd now offers choice of Norwegian "no". Attempted fix:

...which will include nb and nn translations in the build. Note, /usr/share/locale/no is now a symlink to nb.
