Title:
Delta language pack exports are not message sharing aware
Status in Launchpad itself:
Triaged
Status in Ubuntu Translations:
New
Bug description:
As part of the Ubuntu language pack infrastructure, Launchpad produces
two types of regular translations exports:
* Delta exports
* Full exports
They are basically tarballs containing exported PO files that contain
all translations done in Launchpad [1], to be used as the source to
feed to langpack-o-matic [2], which will ultimately produce the .deb
language packs which deliver translations to users.
Delta exports exist in order to periodically release only translations
that have changed since the last language pack release. This implies a
lot less to build, upload, and download for users.
However, we are not using the full potential of delta exports: the
code that generates the delta exports ignores message sharing. This
means that translations completed through message sharing are not
considered as a change and are thus not exported.
In short, the delta export machinery in Launchpad should be message
sharing aware.
