Thanks for the pointer! Apparently “entropy” means the number of distinct characters, which is not how my statistics teacher would define it, but it’s used as just a label for the property of the title not being something like “abababababab”. I could get a Discourse site up in Finnish with these changes:

```

I’m not sure that the locale-gen line is critical, but it suppressed a lot of warnings from perl. The git checkout looks like an oversight in the script: it retrieves `origin/$version` (where `$version` is something like `tests-passed`) but then checks out the local `$version` without merging in the latest changes. The locale-gen and perl commands are really quick-and-dirty modifications; you folks probably have some better ways of doing that.
