Hi Adi,

I think this might be useful: we were discussing this some days ago on
ubuntu-translators [1]. Let me paste the relevant extracts:

<dpm>	ArneGoetje or danilos: we've got a KDE package previously
consisting of 3 templates which have now been merged into one. The 3
templates are still exposed in LP and the new one is in the imports
queue. I guess we just have to approve the new template and disable the
3 old ones, but what's the best way to ensure translations made in LP
for the old templates are not lost?

<dpm>	It's
https://translations.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/karmic/+source/kdebluetooth

<danilos>	dpm: the best way atm is to 1. manually download all three
template translations first; 2. move the biggest one to the new template
and block the import, 3. merge the three in the downloaded translations
and upload that, 4. approve imports

<dpm>	danilos: thanks. Just a couple of questions: on 2) by moving the
biggest one you mean renaming it to the new one, I guess. Why is the
step of blocking the template necessary? Will it not sit in the queue
until it is manually approved anyway?

<dpm>	happyaron: as you are working on this right now, do you have any
other doubts? Would you be happy performing the steps Danilo is
describing above?

<happyaron>	dpm: I could do it later, because now I am trying to sort
out pots about kdelibs, really kind of overwhelming

<dpm>	excellent, thanks. If you're working with kde stuff, you might
find this useful ->
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Translations/Upstream/KDE/KubuntuTranslationsLifecycle and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Translations/Upstream/KDE/

[...]

<danilos>	dpm: yes, rename it and adjust the path so auto-approver picks
it up; if auto-approver is going to pick it up, you need to 'block' it
so it doesn't get imported; if you are certain auto-approver won't pick
it up, it's fine to skip that step

<happyaron>	dpm: could you please help me make up kdebluetooth, I think
kdelibs will kill much more time than I've expected

<dpm>	happyaron: sure, but I'll have to start on it later in the evening

Basically, the templates got merged into one, and there were additional
steps required to ensure translations. I didn't have the chance to do
it, but I was planning to.

In any case, please do not let me be a blocker. If someone would like to
do this, please go ahead and notify the list.

Regards,
David.
