I'm not sure whether what you are describing is a problem. I think you are referring to the split between -base and 'delta' language packs. The base packages are generated and released at e.g. the start of an Ubuntu release and contain all translations, and the 'delta' packages (those whithout a -base suffix) are released more often and contain only those translation files which have been changed since the last language pack release. You can find more information there: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TranslationLifecycle#Structure I've asked Martin Pitt about the fact that the base packages are not in the Jaunty PPA, and I will come back to you when I've got more information. In any case, I do not think this poses a problem. * Have you detected any problem in translations related to this (e.g. untranslated strings -apart from the Firefox issue you already described-, crashes, etc.)? I've tested the PPA for the Catalan language and so far it has not given me any problem. > Lets go on with the error we've found :] > 'mozilla.tar.gz' (mozilla translation extensions) is included in this > package from the ppa and it seems not to be complete, we've found the > following things > > * > '/usr/lib/firefox-addons/extensions/[email protected]/chrome.manifest' > > > is empty > > * $LANG.jar is not included > > This results in having Firefox in English :] > > I hope you can bring some light to this matter. Thanks in advance. > I have also tested this and I can also reproduce the problem (i.e. Firefox appears untranslated after installing the latest langpack PPA). I would suggest you to report this to [email protected], as described here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TranslationLifecycle#Automatically%20built% 20weekly%20packages If you've got any other questions, do not hesitate to ask them here.
