[Bug 1760435] Re: Use Ubuntu language packs for various indicators

 

Yep, that's another way.

But identifying each and every package may not be the most urgent thing.
The big problem has proved to be that several (most?) Unity packages
have the line "X-Ubuntu-Use-Langpack: yes" in the source, but their
translation templates have been deleted from LP. Fixing this in one way
or another for *the most visible packages with many translatable
strings* should be prio one. Hope that Sebastien will advise us about it
tomorrow.

  Use Ubuntu language packs for various indicators

Bug description:
  The Unity family of packages was previously part of standard Ubuntu.
  Thus all the translation templates were made available to the
  translators via Launchpad, and the translations were included in the
  language packs.

  Since those packages are no longer part of standard Ubuntu, they have
  been moved from main to universe. And translations are dropped.

  At the moment, it is feasible for us to keep using langpacks.

  That means adding "X-Ubuntu-Use-Langpack: yes" to their debian/control
  and doing an upload.
