No, that's not the case at all: as far as I know the LiveCD will include all translations uploaded to the archive before final release date. The LiveCD *is* the primary release of Ubuntu, and is generated on release day. > Also, if in any case the documentation translations are exported after > the non language pack translation deadline, could someone from the > documentatiuon team either publish a schedule or update these [1] [2] > to reflect this?

I don't think this should be a regular thing in the future, but considering the problems with this cycle, I think it would be worth it. -- Matthew East http://www.mdke.org gnupg pub 1024D/0E6B06FF -- ubuntu-translators mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-translators
