Thanks for your input! For this to happen we'll need some pretty significant infrastructure on the web and a big change to how this project gets its data. (Maybe some localizations could be always be pulled from a web server?). It's something I'd love to see, but it will be a lot of work. (And it doesn't help that I wrote some rather picky screenshot guidelines to go on top of the already quite specific branding guide).
For the time being that is patched over with a note in the project's readme that says to please ensure screenshots communicate visually instead of through English text, but at the moment we aren't doing particularly well at that. It could be easier, and more effective, to replace our screenshots with specially made graphics. That way we could avoid having any text at all (readable text in screenshots is kind of yucky anyway), we'd save translators' time, and with the right artwork it could look a little nicer. ** Also affects: ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Translations Coordinators, which is subscribed to Ubuntu Translations. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/848700 Title: need translated slideshow image Status in Installer Slideshows for Ubuntu & friends: New Status in Ubuntu Translations: New Status in “ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: By contrubuting from all over the world, Ubuntu can show installing message translated with many languages. But there's no way to upload localized Ubuntu screenshot. As a result, every Ubuntu users watch language of strings and images mismatch.
