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

Status in Ubuntu Translations:

Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:

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.
