The installer localization is already in core and it works. I have a translated install.po file (German). Just drop it in profiles/ default as "de.po" and you'll be able to select the language when you go to /install.php in your browser.

"install.po"? goba had me special case "installer.po" here:

http://drupal.org/node/93121 "Do not merge installer.po into merged PO file"

when the packaging script is creating tarballs for translations, it normally merges all the .po files into a giant [lang].po file. however, it's now excluding "installer.po" so you'd end up with:

installer.po # just the installer strings de.po # everything else

in your de-5.x-1.0.tar.gz file.

if you call it "install.po", it'll get merged in with de.po.

do we need to change the behavior of the packaging script or the translators? ;)
