Pierre, is Nightmonkey still being developed? There's nothing for me to
do here until anyone demonstrates that a simple translation
crowdsourcing system is viable. Linking from USC to a translation
service would be pretty easy, but I wouldn't be happy to see USC linking
to anything more complicated than something that takes you directly from
an Ubuntu SSO sign-in to a focused field for entering the suggested
translation. Nightmonkey might become that simple, but it looks far from
there at the moment, and I don't see any activity in the past six
months.

Bug description:
  There are a lot of untranslated software descriptions in WebCatalog, Software Center and Synaptic (60000+ strings in most languages, https://translations.launchpad.net/ddtp-ubuntu/ ).
  Relying solely on translators doesn't scale. Would it be possible to add a mechanism to enable translation suggestion crowdsourcing ?

  The basic idea would be a button to "Translate this software
  description" below each untranslated description that would enable
  users to easily provide a translation suggestion to the DDTP using
  Launchpad.

  We could point the user to the DDTP translations in each individual
  software summary shown in Ubuntu App Center or Synaptic. There would
  be a button called "Translate those descriptions"
