Question. We run a community translation project for the lang and ts/qm files for Skype (we're not Windows, before anyone asks) over on Transifex (https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/skype-translation-project/). It started off with a focus on smaller, unsupprted languages for Windows but since we figured out how to do the files for Linux, a number of larger languages have also come onboard, like Greek or Brazilian.

We currently generate the ts/qm files manually and then put them on SourceForge (https://sourceforge.net/projects/skypeinyourlang/files/Linux/) with instructions (there's a moderatly annoying name change you have to implement) https://sourceforge.net/p/skypeinyourlang/wiki/Installing%20a%20language%20file/ about how to do that on Linux.

Is there any interest to somehow bundle these with Ubuntu so people don't have to do this themselves? I don't know if Launchpad handles ts files and someone would have to fiddle a bit with the integration (in a nutshell, the Linux interface will offer you languages not bundled with the default package as long as the filename follows a certain pattern, see the instructions on the page I linked).

Happy to file a bug but I wanted to gauge interest/feasibility to begin with.

Cheers

Michael
