I can feel your pain. I do lots of translations for Spanish and without context it's often difficult to check. Sadly, Launchpad has not a similar tool to Qt Linguistic, which is able to display the UI screen along the original and translated string. So, what I do is to check the related screen on an actual phone. > received new strings to translate, how can I reproduce them to analyse the > best way to translate it?

Every Tuesday, a language export from Launchpad is created by Lukasz and on Wednesdays there is a fresh translated image in rc-proposed. But beware because the channel is not meant to be used as a stable release, of course. > Also, I think that, we could have a person that was responsible for the > translations in general.

You can use ubuntu-translators to discuss translation-related problems. But sending screenshots is time-consuming, so I don't think that's a viable way to work. Greetings, -- Víctor R.
