Clever. If there is a reason many translators do not complete
description translations, is simply because Launchpad timeouts a lot.
Also, many teams are overwhelmed with translation suggestions they need
to check and approve (or disapprove, as many of these suggestions are
low-quality).

Title:
  Add a button "Translate this description" to crowdsource Package
  translations

Bug description:
  There are a lot of untranslated software descriptions in WebCatalog, Software Center and Synaptic (60000+ strings in most languages, https://translations.launchpad.net/ddtp-ubuntu/ ).
  Relying solely on translators doesn't scale. Would it be possible to add a mechanism to enable translation suggestion crowdsourcing ?

  The basic idea would be a button to "Translate this software
  description" below each untranslated description that would enable
  users to easily provide a translation suggestion to the DDTP, either
  inline, or using Launchpad.
