First of all: apologies if some regression sneaked in with the latest
stable update. As mentioned multiple times in our e-mails, the situation
with the translation infrastructure was really really bad and only
starting with the next OTA the situation should get better. We had to
use wily translations this time and it also seemed that there were some
issues with importing the templates. Sadly this was discovered late in
the OTA-process so we had limited resources to make sure everything was
good.

I agree. First step would be to write a bug with all the details, we can
then get someone assigned and make sure it gets fixed in the nearest days.

We will also send out a separate e-mail mentioning how translations for
the vivid stable phone overlay will work.

Cheers,
