Hi Yuri,
LOL have you ever thought of shifting the Ubuntu localization away from
LP and onto your own Pootle server or something? I'm sure there's very
good reasons for why it's where it is right now but having patiently
answered my many questions, I get the impression it's currently one
unholy mess!
No. To be honest, I'm not an Ubuntu user. Just test it sometimes. Please
take this into account. I was just looking Ubuntu for last 5 years, not
buying. ;)
The reason for Ubuntu to use launchpad is that it is their own solution
and it is integrated with other units: bug tracker, build system, etc. Now
it has no other advantages, only shortcomings.
Did you mean the maintainer of l10n at Ubuntu or the maintainer of the
l10n teams themselves?
I mean that making and testing langpacks seems to be not very easy task
(it takes several hours just to build them without any testing). So nobody
cares about this last year. Earlier there were Canonical employees and
enthusiasts to push onto developers (David, Andrej, Kennet) but now nobody
cares.
October... well that's good and bad news, good in the sense it gives me
time but bad since annual updates to translations... well... not so
great. On the other hand it also puts pressure on me to resolve the
issue of our well-meaning and enthusiastic but ultimately not-so-fluent
team member.
It may or may not happen that Pierre can change something for the next
release. But the reality shows that Canonical does not have any strategy
in localization and prefer to leave it as is (updates released only when
anyone finds someone who can do it, without any schedule).
Best regards,
Yuri
Thanks - I think :/

Hi,
Below is the impression of how it is now and not how it is to be or
was planned.
Language pack updates are irregular and unmaintained. Updates to the
packages beyond langpacks may or may not include updated translations
from Launchpad (depends on the maintainer).
The only reliable way for updates is a new release (13.10 now).
Best regards,
Yuri
