- I've filed a bug against the DDTP about it with a sample message we could display to set expectations right : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ddtp-ubuntu/+bug/1188097
Istvan, do you think you could include such a warning in Nightmonkey ?

- About refreshes, I've talked about this with mvo because I also wanted
to make sure the French translation are quickly used but it can't be
fully automatic for obvious safety reasons.

This is a bit tricky as a fully automatic solution would require a
unlocked gpg key that can upload to the archive on a server. That is a
bit scary. We should talk to Martin Pitt to see how he is doing it for
the langpack-o-matic stuff and if we could integrate into his
framework. That would probably be the best solution. But I totally
agree with the goal to get the translations in faster!

Title:
  Software Centre, Synaptic should point to the DDTP

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 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"

  keyword
  repository
