There were two issues of duplication that I saw.  One was that strings
were repeated multiple times on Rosetta, as you mention.  I don't
think this is a huge issue, and most certainly not a blocker for the
first upload.

The other was that we need a solution for handling partially
translated or not translated at all languages that does not copy
entire slides from C.  However, your reply addresses this problem:

That would be ideal.  I'd like ubiquity to know as little about the
slideshow as possible, with the only input to it being the currently
used language.
