Thanks Dylan,

+1 to merge the top 5 copy changes from your latest comment (#11), plus
this one:

"<a href=\"https://one.ubuntu.com/services/free/\";>Ubuntu One</a>
gives you 5GB of free cloud storage to access your files, share your
photos and <a href=\"https://one.ubuntu.com/services/music/\";>stream
your music</a> to your computers, tablets and smartphones. Any photo
you take appears on all your devices, the instant you take it. Ubuntu
One runs on Ubuntu, Windows, Mac, Android, iOS and the web."

For anyone reading this bug, please realise that introducing copy
changes this late in the release does not really give time to the teams
of volunteers to translate them. I understand everyone is busy, but
that's why we've got milestones and checkpoints in the release process:
to either deliver the changes on time or to raise any deviations from
the schedule. This effectively means that some languages that had the
installer fully translated in the previous release might be partially
translated for 12.10, both for the official images and for any derived
OEM builds.

I'm +1'ing this one as some of the changes were necessary, and because
at least another translator on the mailing list said it's ok to go with
these, but please, do respect the string freezes next cycle.

Title:
  [UIFe] New copy for Ubuntu installer slideshow

Status in “ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  This is a freeze exception request for ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu. We are changing some copy for the Ubuntu slideshow. The changes are available with the merge request:
  https://code.launchpad.net/~dylanmccall/ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu/quantal-ubuntu-copy/+merge/126337

  This will replace 13 strings that had previously been translated for
  12.04.

  The other visible changes for 12.10 — new screenshots and
  illustrations — will happen separately, because it is important we get
  these new strings in nice and quickly so they can be translated.
