** Also affects: ubuntu-translations
   Importance: Undecided
       Status: New

** Description changed:

+ 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 using Launchpad.
+ 
  We could point the user to the DDTP translations in each individual
  software summary shown in Ubuntu App Center or Synaptic. There would be
  a button called "Translate those descriptions"
+ 
+ http://nightmonkey.ubuntu.hu/#release=raring&language=fr&view=app&repo=REPOSITORY&isok=false&rownumber=100&sortpopcon=dsc&packagename=KEYWORD&page=null
+ 
+ Two variables:
+ keyword
+ repository
+ 
+ Mockup:
+ - Software Centre: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-translations/+bug/376464/+attachment/3657387/+files/Logith%C3%A8que-Ubuntu_001.png
+ - Synaptic: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-translations/+bug/376464/+attachment/3657359/+files/synaptic.jpg
