Hi Pierre,

I'm glad you find the stats useful, thanks :)

Right now they are designed to work with source packages included in the
default Ubuntu desktop installation, which is why the short descriptions
appear in them, but it might be tricky to include the long package
descriptions in the stats, as they are not shipped as a source package.

In addition to that, and while I agree that it would make sense to add
them, I'm a bit reluctant do do so for the following reasons:

- They are a huge set of translations. While logically they belong to
the default distro installation, the big weight in terms of the amount
of strings could severely distort the current stats. The weight in terms
of quantity does not match their weight in terms of visibility when
comparing it to the rest of the desktop components. I.e. we will never
get 100% accurate stats, but I want to present stats that are the best
approximation we can have to:
  - Give users and OEM an idea of how well translated the distro is
  - Give translators focus on what's more important to get translated
- Some of the original package description strings are not very good, so
as a translator I'm often inclined not to translate those until they've
been fixed in the package
- It's hard to translate the long descriptions' strings until this
Launchpad bug [1] has been fixed.

I'm sorry to provide an answer on the "not for now" side, but if you or
someone else would have any ideas or would like to contribute to the
code [2], any help will be really welcome. Thanks!

Cheers,
David.
