Launchpad imports translations from upstream packages, but gnome-user-
docs is not an upstream package of ubuntu-docs, so that is why
translations don't get imported automatically.

Since we began using gnome-user-docs strings, we have always encouraged
translators to upload upstream translations manually. Some additional
infrastructure would be needed for us to sync gnome-user-docs
translations with ubuntu-docs translations, but I agree that it is a
good idea.  I look forward to suggestions as to how that could be
achieved.

Title:
  Translations are not automatically imported from Gnome-user-docs

Status in Ubuntu Translations:
  New
Status in “ubuntu-docs” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Ubuntu-docs is a Gnome-user-docs fork but both projects still share most of their strings.
  Launchpad should automatically import relevant translations, as it does with other Ubuntu packages.

  As a temporary workaround, translators can do manual imports, but this
  raises an ethical problem: by doing so, Gnome translators are not
  credited for the huge amount of work they provided. Indeed, the
  "translator-credits" string is handled automatically by Launchpad, so
  we cannot add upstream credits manually.

  According to IRC, this a known issue. But I wanted to report this bug
  so that it is not forgotten.
