The problem is that one can never know about such things and we are very likely to ship with broken translation, I don't go and re-review the already reviewed translation for each Ubuntu release. Right now, I don't know how many translations have been broken this way, and a full review is not an option. > I'm not sure who recommended you to translate upstream, but I can > confirm what you already saw: indicator-session is only currently > translatable by Ubuntu Translators, and the upstream project is > currently not open for translation.

Here are some examples: https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+source/update-manager/+pots/update-manager/ar/242/+translate https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+source/update-manager/+pots/update-manager/ar/243/+translate The 'packaged' are the wrong ones (will crash the application) and were originally fixed several months ago.
