The list of languages was very short because of this code:
# Determine the display level
language_display_level() {
local level
#log "Frontend in use: $DEBIAN_FRONTEND"
case $DEBIAN_FRONTEND in
gtk)
level=4 ;;
*)
# Keep only Latin1 languages if we don't have a framebuffer
if [ "$TERM_FRAMEBUFFER" ]; then
level=3
else
level=1
fi
# The hurd text-mode console has decent charset support
if [ "$TERM" = "hurd" ]; then
level=3
fi
# ASCII only if we are on serial console, dumb, or Mach terminal
# Both variables should already be set at init time
if [ "$TERM_TYPE" = "serial" ] || [ "$TERM" = "dumb" ] || [
"$TERM" = "mach-color" ] ; then
level=0
fi
;;
esac
#log "Language display level is $level"
echo $level
}
If, in the situation you describe, there is a way to "recognize" that
the terminal can display non Latin languages, then we can adapt that
code.
