Title:
  Delta language pack exports are not message sharing aware

Status in Launchpad itself:
  Triaged
Status in Ubuntu Translations:
  Confirmed

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.
