The installer is special because it has to be handled manually: it can't use language packs, because it is itself responsible for installing language packs. It's also composed of several dozen individual components, each of which needs to be manually uploaded in order to import translations. Furthermore, once I import Launchpad translations into the source package, this means that I need to make a decision on every conflict every time I merge new changes from Debian; these changes often do include genuine translation fixes (often serious) and at the point when I'm merging those changes, new strings aren't available in Launchpad (and in fact the Debian strings wouldn't be visible in Launchpad unless I uploaded them ...). This all adds up to a very large amount of work for me, and I'm sorry but I'm just not prepared to cope with it.
The debian-installer template exists in Launchpad because there are Ubuntu-specific strings there that need to be translated. I have contemplated trying to split out a separate template for just the Ubuntu-specific bits, but haven't got round to doing this yet. -- Please, update the Ubiquity translations using the latest translations from Launchpad https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/356683 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
