I'm installing this version of Debian in a QEMU VM:https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/ports/snapshots/2026-06-12/debian-13.0.0-powerpc-NETINST-1.iso

I choosed French as installation language. Then, all screens are in French, excepted this:



This screen is translated in French in previous ISO versions.

That's not a bug, that's just how life goes ;-)

You used a snapshot image from ports, and for building them, current packages versions from unstable (or maybe testing?) are used.
And there, the French translation is not fully up-to-date, means the text you are seing in English, is just not translated into French, and therefore English is used as the fallback.

If you have time, you are welcome to help with translations.


So closing this report

But it was already translated in all previous version of this ISO:

Choix du nom de machine

I rather think it's a regression.

No, that's development.

But no translation work happened by French translator.

You can also see that by yourself:
Compare the French text from 2015 version against the English version from this month.
They are not matching.
