Oh bleeding heck, I've been proofreading the wrong version all this
time? Can I at this point say that LP is *really* useless for
translators who are not plugged into some kind of Matrix-esque newslink.
How many of these non-active version are there? How many people are
still working on them because that's the page they bookmarked when they
started?
Has anyone ever thought of sticking an automatic note on them saying
"This is not the latest version, you should focus on [link]"???
Seriously... I'm half minded to just chuck it all in and tell people to
use Windows. Just because translators on open source projects are as a
rule not paid does not mean their time is not worth anything.
Yes, I'm bitching but think about it. I've stuck weeks of proofreading
into some outdated version due to a lack of *obvious* information and a
naming convention which means something to non-developers (raring,
oneiric... yeah, I'm sure they sound cool - how about something that
tells me something useful like 13.10 or 12.06=)...

The new translations should be propagated to all releases, so there are
not much things wasted (if at all). This is called translation
synchronization. The synchronization works slowly and is not instantly
visible.
Canonical releases new versions in April (.04) and October (.10). Years
with even numbers are for April LTS (12.04, 14.04). LTS can have regular
(or irregular) add-on releases (12.04.1, 12.04.2) with langpacks updates.
Each major release has its own name (I constantly forget which name is it
so I prefer numbers).
Best regards,
Yuri

But please switch to saucy (13.10) when it will be opened as raring
(13.04) langpacks will not be updated (just synced with other releases)
so you can lose your work.
Best regards,
Yuri
