Well, that's nice. We should now update translations upstream so our
fixes can go to other distros as well.
Hi Adolfo,
Note that you could exactly do that even before that change.
The biggest change is that Kubuntu translations will now not be shipped
in language packs, thus they will remain static and you won't be able
to
complete or fix any strings after release.
Cheers,
David.
Hi David,
Actually, this is not full truth. Every minor KDE release (monthly) is
shipped with updated translations, while Ubuntu langpacks are released
very irregularly with unpredictable delays.
Hi Yuri,
I did not mention that there aren't KDE updates. I was simply stating
the fact that after release there won't be KDE translation updates in
Ubuntu. That is, even if there are monthly minor releases from KDE, they
will not make it into Ubuntu after release.
Now it would actually be a good idea to get those minor releases every
now and then as an SRU, so I'd suggest discussing it with the Kubuntu
team.
Regarding the language pack schedule, it is defined here:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Translations/PreciseLanguagePackReleaseSchedule
Ubuntu translation teams almost never test Kubuntu:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Translations/LanguagePackUpdatesQA
Untested langpacks will not be released, won't they? So I think it is not
a big lost. ;)
As any other part of Ubuntu, it is open to contribution, so if anyone
wants to ensure the language packs are released regularly, they should
feel free to help making it happen.
As many other parts of Ubuntu, it would be great if Ubuntu uses upstream
capabilities and does not waste the FOSS-supporters time for Ubuntu-only
solutions. All other (non-Ubuntu based) distributions do this, so why
can't Ubuntu do? ;)
Some thoughts on the practical side:
1. Are there any plans to propose the translations of Kubuntu to upstream
as ready to commit packages for KDE l10n-kde4?
2. What is the fate of Kubuntu-only translations of 12.04 and previous
versions? They will be wasted, right?
3. Will there be any any communique from Ubuntu Council for those who
translated Kubuntu if they have their translations wasted?
Thanks in advance for the answers.
Best regards,
Yuri
Thanks.
Cheers,
David.
Just my 2 cents.
Best regards,
Yuri

KDE packages have now moved to universe and we are using the language
packs from upstream directly for KDE SC. So no translations should
be
needed for KDE applications in quantal. Applications which come from
Ubuntu and have a KDE frontend such as Ubiquity will still need
translations. You are encouraged to directly work with KDE language
teams for translations to KDE software. http://l10n.kde.org/
