I think so. It is not completely automatic though (i think). I think someone (Adi or David?) routinely shifts all existing languages into the new one where they are then listed as "suggestions" along with anything from "upstream". Suggestions then need to be ticked and accepted, a process called "review".
My own feeling about that is to just get through them fast and worry about quality in a future release but many more experienced people (almost everyone actually) says that quality really needs to be the main aim from the very start even if that means some strings go untranslated for a few years. I have no practical experience of translating beyond just doing a few simple strings from American into English. Of course, i could be completely wrong about any or all of this email! It is just my thoughts as an interested 'outsider' Good luck and many regards from Tom :) ________________________________ From: Loris Pederiva <[email protected]> To: ubuntu-translators <[email protected]> Sent: Wed, 15 December, 2010 22:12:27 Subject: Newbie question Hi, as a brand new translation team, we're afraid we're not going to make it for the April release of Ubuntu. Will the system automatically port the strings we translated into the 11.10 branch? I do think it works like this, but i just need to be sure... Best regards to everybody, Loris
