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"
