I've made an attempt to fix this by creating a branch that adds
preliminary i18n support for the update notification and the .desktop
files, but might need some additional help where my packaging-fu does
not reach.

Here's what's working:

* Extraction of strings from the update notification and .desktop files
and merging them into the POT template using intltool

* Generating the POT template during the package build. This means that
when uploading the package the template should get picked up
automatically and imported into Launchpad. It will also mean that the
translations (.mo files) will be correctly exported in language packs.

Here's where I might need some help:

* Postinstall script: looking at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/InteractiveUpgradeHooks, it mentions that the
underscores needed to mark the update notification as translatable need
to be removed in the postinstall script, and it shows an example of how
to do this with sed. However, I could not find out how the notification
is installed, so I wasn't sure at which point the underscores should be
removed. I'm guessing figuring this out should not be difficult for
someone with more packaging experience.

* Variable substitution in .desktop.in files: .desktop files are
correctly generated on build. I also added the 'X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain'
key to them, which should be assigned the package's translation domain.
Rather than hardcoding the domain, I've tried to use the
@GETTEXT_PACKAGE@ variable to be substituted on build. This, however,
did not seem to work, as @GETTEXT_PACKAGE@ does not get substituted on
build in the resulting .desktop files.

After yesterday's updates, today I got this update notification:

Record your encryption passphrase

To encrypt your home directory or "Private" folder, a strong passphrase has been autogenerated. Usually your directory is unlocked with your user password, but if you ever need to manually recover this directory, you will need this passphrase. Please print or write it down and store it in a safe location.
You can run the "ecryptfs-unwrap-passphrase" command now to do this. Enter your user password at the "Passphrase" prompt.

This is from the /usr/share/ecryptfs-utils/ecryptfs-record-passphrase file, but neither this file, nor the package is translatable.
