Hi Fran, Thanks a lot for the feedback. Again, these are requests for new Launchpad features, and while they are absolutely valid requests, that was not the primary intention of this thread. Let me comment on your suggestions: > I'm coordinating the Galician translators team of GNOME, and I found a > lot of strings that have been changed in Launchpad, some of them were > bugfixes unreported upstream. So to improve this I propose: > > - Group diferent templates from the > https://translations.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/maverick/+lang/gl page by > project (Ubuntu related, GNOME project, KDE project, Translation > project, ...). This will help translators/coordinators to focus in one > particular area of translations. > That's something we definitely need, although it is not something the Launchpad developers will be able to work on in the near future. I hope I've managed to explain why on previous replies on this thread: it's a matter of allocating development resources to priorities, but I'll be happy to explain it again if you feel there is the need to. We also had a Google Summer of Code project proposal (along with other ones for Launchpad Translations, scroll down on the list), but unfortunately no student had the time or interest to pick it up: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GoogleSoC2010/Ideas#Package%20set%20views%20in%20Launchpad%20Translations > - Where and how to send to upstream: For each group will be very > helpful have one page explaining how and where to submit translations to > upstream.

In the future, it would be useful to have it, but better still, we should have an automated or semi-automated way to send to upstreams (note that I'm not saying it's going to be like that, there are no plans for an implementation yet: this is only one of the ideas that have been thrown around). For example, when submitting a translation back to the TP it should be sent to the TP robot; for GNOME, it should land on damned lies for review, etc. At the moment, the upstream pages in the wiki cover this purpose as a workaround: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Translations/Upstream Until there is a way to handle this in Launchpad automatically, I'd suggest to keep maintaining those pages, and I'd like to ask for everyone's help in updating them. There is good information on GNOME and KDE, but some other upstream pages are in need of some love. If you find out information on how to send translations to a particular upstream that is not already in there, please feel free to add it. With this you'll be helping all other translation teams. Some of you have told me on IRC about suggestions for better finding upstreams. I think it was Andrej from the Slovenian team that said that an alphabetical list of upstreams would be helpful. If anyone wants to work on implementing anything like this, any modifications will be more than welcome. > - Export strings changed in launchpad.
