RE: There is no local INSTALL.txt file for non-english speakers.

This is a great idea. Perhaps we can ask the maintainer of each language to provide this? It would be great if we could get as many as possible in for 4.7....

Great idea!

I don't know the Brazilian Portuguese Maintener, but I can translate it right now. May I? ;)

Nice. I volunteer for a Dutch version

currently the install.txt is in the root of the tarball. Perhaps there should be a docs directory with all the install.txt files rather than in the root.

wundo, Heine: no harm in starting in translation. At worst, it can go in the handbook and/or the country-specific portals.

sepeck: I'm going to suggest keeping the English INSTALL.txt in the root, with the very first/top lines pointing to non-English versions in a docs/ subdirectory.

You can copy and paste the english text into Google's Language translator to tranlate it to another language.

That won't do much good
1. The Google language translator is only available for a few languages.
2. The resulting translation is hilarious, but largely useless for documentation;

If you steer your data bases by a net-created tax lining, examine its documents for causing the data bases, how the following instructions for only the command line are.

Imagine the requests to the support forum!

I'm sorry it took so long, but here's install.txt translated in Dutch. On some points it deviates slightly from the English version; eg. one sentence split in two or active instead of passive or v.v.

The only significant change is in a part I found confusing and now matches the drupal 4.7 instructions more closely (see the issue).

It has been spellchecked, but I'm sure some minor (or major) errors are still there, so I would like to ask Dutch speakers with some time to check the document.

Thanks in advance,

Heine
