Thanks Scott for the good feeback as usual. Yours is a valid request, but I'd prefer discussing it in another thread. Implementing this would mean adding a feature to Launchpad, but as mentioned on the follow-up e-mail to my original a few days ago, this thread is for discussion of plans related to the Ubuntu translations community. For any technical discussion or requests, I'd suggest opening a separate thread on the ubuntu-translators list or rather in launchpad-dev. Your request has been echoed before, and it is not something trivial to implement: while some translation teams might want to work upstream exclusively, others might want to work on Launchpad only and then send translations upstream. I've seen both workflows, and right now this is something better controlled by the translation teams themselves than on a Launchpad-wide setting. Since we requested all translation teams to be moderated and the global policy on translations for Ubuntu to be Restricted, this has been working quite well. We've got scarce development resources for working on Launchpad Translations, and defining the priorities to work requires always a balance between new features and work that provides an immediate benefit to translators and upstreams. Right now the Launchpad Translations developers are working in providing a better upstream integration experience, which I believe to be a higher priority at this time. Therefore, they won't likely have the time to work on any new feature such as template locking in the near future. In any case, that should not discourage anyone in contributing to this, and the Launchpad Translations development team will be happy to mentor anyone willing to step up and work on such a feature (or any other).
