Title:
  User Documentation Translation data is horrible

Status in software-center package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The current way translations for the user docs of software-center are
  handled, results in po files with inappropriately segmented text,
  embedded docbook tags, and msgids for individual portions of a
  person's name, as well as their e-mail address. This creates an
  unacceptable burden on translators, and documenters.

  We need to find a method of translating this documentation (or simply
  get rid of it, and rely on usage-evident design in the app itself).
