Thank you for submitting this bug report. Unfortunately, we do not have the ability to take screenshots in every language and have them available. Since by virtue of being "screenshots", the wording is part of an image, translations are not possible. To attempt to have every image in every language will grow the size of the cd to a point it won't even fit on a dvd any more.

Please continue to submit bug reports in the future. Your assistance in making Xubuntu better is much appreciated.

Since an internet connection is recommended for installation, couldn't translated screenshot be fetched from some server? You just include the English screenshots on the CD and let ubiquity fetch translated screenshots if an internet connection is available and a language other than English is chosen.

Also, translated screenshots could be added to localized CD images.

Since an internet connection can not be required for installation, this is not dependable. If an individual does not have internet, how do we include translated screenshots (images) for all languages?

Charlie: Hendrik wanted it to be optional: if there is internet connection, you can have localized screenshots, if there isn't, then you get only the English ones.
I have no idea if this is implementable, but for localized CD images it should be doable.
