Package: asclock
Version: 2.0.12-8.2
Severity: wishlist
Tags: l10n

While working on #457360 I saw that asclock supports many languages:
breton  czech  danish  dutch  english  french  german  hebrew
hungarian  indonesian  italian  japanese  norwegian  portuguese
russian  slovene  spanish  swedish  ukrainian

During build time, however, english is chosen and all other languages
are disregarded. I tried to hack your build system to choose a
different language at least at build time, but this appears to be
non-trivial. Manually copying month.xpm and weekday.xpm to the proper
place after installation works, however.

Choosing at install time is suboptimal, however. Please add the code
necessary to support them at *runtime*. If you or upstream don't have
time atm for this please tell me and I can have a look.

It's a pitty that these languages are present but not used in debian,
given the huge i18n effort.
