AFAIK langpack, but I'm not a developer of gnome-app-install as such. In other words, ubuntu-docs / debian-installer translation should be priority until next Thursday if you have something left to translate there. 2008/10/12 David Planella <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > In addition to Milo's question, is there a Debian equivalent to this? > What I mean is, do we have to take care of coordinating the > translation with Debian, or is this simply a package where Ubuntu is > upstream? I'd say Ubuntu is pretty much the upstream. Debian (or anything else) doesn't have a systematic way of translating .desktop files, instead (real application) .desktop translations should all be delivered to real upstreams individually. On the other hand, a huge pile of the .desktop translations in app-install-data-ubuntu are for .desktop files which have been fake-generated just for gnome-app-install's usage since there is no corresponding desktop item anyway (for example the GStreamer packages which are just libraries). While going through the app-install-data-ubuntu, I found that some real application .desktop were included, and not translated even though it is translated in the corresponding package - Freeciv for example. For many others, the correct translation was suggested but not automatically used. I'm not sure if the .pot file generation currently is optimal, but most importantly it will let us translate some important entries in gnome-app-install anyway. There is however http://packages.qa.debian.org/a/app-install-data.html - so like with update-notifer and update-manager, translations generated at Launchpad should be at some point exported by the developer for the Debian package, or alternatively the developer should be poked to do this. Ubuntu-developed packages have not had translations exported optimally, seen in eg. bug reports of update-notifier etc. in Debian, but I'd think the translation exports should anyway be done mostly by the developer or Debian package maintainer, ie. all translations at once. -Timo -- ubuntu-translators mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-translators
