Re: [Launchpad-users] Exporting translations of a package in main



Hi,

First of all, thanks for your explanations.

Am I correct when I think that the packages in main have their own

being an Ubuntu translator to export them?

Yes and no, respectively. Packages in main have their upstream
translations imported (whether from a project inside Launchpad or
somewhere else on the internet), and then translators working in
Launchpad can complement them with their own. Any logged-in user can
enter suggestions.

I have done that a few times...

Members of the translation team for the language
review the suggestions, and will hopefully also help contribute changes
made in Launchpad back to upstream.

We've had to restrict the ability to download full translations for
entire Ubuntu packages because of excessive load. Only admins, the
Ubuntu drivers team, and the translation group owners can do that now.


We're working on ways to make this automatic. For now however, the
restricted privileges on export are a problem. What you can do, if there
are not too many languages, is request each PO file separately.

Maybe that this has already been implemented as I am able to download the tarball with the translations of the onboard package shipping with Ubuntu. To do it, I am using the following link that Milo gave me in another reply of this thread:
https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+source/onboard/+pots/onboard/+export

Cheers

Francesco
