Ok, let's focus on sorting this out instead. As I and others have
mentioned in the thread, your work is by no means lost, which is the
most important thing.
It's not that I was worried about having lost the translations - I keep
backups of everything. What I *am* concerned about is a loss of
time/need for re-checking stuff I already checked because, let's say I
submit the debian-installer again on raring, I have no idea which
strings changed/were new on raring so I have to check the entire file
again in case something slipped through.
On Monday we can figure out more. But as I said before, and to set the
expectations: developers are usually not very keen on doing these
operations, as they imply sending manual queries to the database.
I filed this bug
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-translations/+bug/1184140 - should I
turn it into a question?
Another option that might be easier, seeing that you are doing the
corrections anyway, would be to leave the translations in Launchpad as
they are (as you'll be replacing them), and remove the Scottish Gaelic
language pack from Ubuntu. This way translations would simply not be
shipped.
I'd rather start with a clean base - for one thing, it would allow me to
maintain only Ubuntu specific stuff on LP and the other stuff upstream
rather than try and juggle the same translations in two places. It would
also prevent the half-dozen or so bad suggestions from appearing (some
of them aren't even Gaelic!) for many of the strings, plus I could work
offline in Virtaal and use my fairly massive translation memory which
spans strings from over 2 dozen projects.
