Hello Susana, I fully agree that translation bugs shouldn't be closed as invalid and we should have a better triaging workflow.
Based on my experience I currently triage translations bugs using the following workflow: 1) Check if the application with the translation bug is in main or universe on packages.ubuntu.com [1], packages in universe have an indication [universe] behind them. 2a) For applications in main change package to either language-pack-<lang*>, language-pack-gnome-<lang*> or language-pack-kde-<lang*> (where <lang*> is the language code and optional country specific suffix). At doubt between these 3 packages check on packages.ubuntu.com [2] to see which of these packages contains the applications .mo file. Then I assign the bug to the ubuntu-l10n-<lang*> team. 2b) Translations bugs for applications in universe should be set to their respective applications package since we don't have language packs for universe yet [3]. They should also be forwarded upstream as described here [4]. Any improvements/suggestions/comments to this workflow are welcome. We should agree on a workflow for translations bugs and add it to the Bugs/HowToTriage wiki page [5]. The response for closing translation bugs as invalid should be removed from the Bugs/Responses wiki page [6].

We could create a launchpad project for this but I don't think this will reduce work for triagers since this would still require bug reporters to know to report bugs to this project. Most reporters report translations bugs against the respective applications package or no package at all. > But if this is not possible, translators could perhaps be encouraged to > subscribe their relevant language packages (e.g. language-pack-*, > language-support-*) and when bugs are reported against the application > itself triagers would subscribe the team or change package. It is always a good idea to let people/teams subscribe to bug mail of ubuntu packages or projects of their interest, ubuntu-l10n-<lang*> teams should subscribe to bug mail of [7].
