Title:
  Please close upstream Launchpad translations

Status in Unity:
  Fix Released
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  In the Ubuntu l10n teams, we require people to get membership in order
  to edit translations. This way we can review the work done by random
  people, which increases consistency of translations.

  Unity, unity-place-files and unity-place-applications are open for
  translation in Launchpad as upstream projects, which means anybody can
  do what he wants on them. This is a real issue for us, because
  normally upstream takes precedence over Ubuntu-specific changes. So we
  can't control the quality of Unity translations. Moreover, we
  constantly have to keep in sync Ubuntu translations and upstream
  translations, which is silly since they use the very same
  infrastructure (Rosetta).

  So please close translations of Unity upstream, and leave to the
  Ubuntu l10n teams the translations. Or only allow these teams to
  translate upstream. As a general rule, translations provided by random
  people are of very low quality and of poor consistency, and are a
  burden to fix.
