After the switch to GNOME, some of the core GNOME packages are
more important than when Unity was default in Ubuntu. The GNOME
packages are translated upstream, and in many cases the upstream
translations are simply imported to LP and added to our language
packs and there is not much to do for the translators on the Ubuntu
side.
But..
Some of the GNOME packages have Ubuntu modifications with
translatable strings which have to be translated via Launchpad.
gnome-software
gnome-control-center
gnome-online-accounts
gnome-session
Thank you very much for this useful information.
One question: Is there a way to see, or to know by means of some
public schedule, at what time imports will be done from upstream to
Launchpad? The idea is to know whether to upload a translation
manually or simply wait for an automatic process. We can upload our
upstream translations manually, but that's a lot of work when there
many modules.
I wish I could say there is, but I'm afraid I can't.
For many (most?) GNOME packages, both template updates and translation
imports from upstream happen when respective package is uploaded to
Ubuntu. Unless the upstream .po file is complete at that time, the
untranslated strings in the LP interface may include both upstream and
Ubuntu specific strings.
The information about in which file a string is located may serve as
guidance, admittedly not always easy to interpret, in this respect.
Some packages are set up so the translations are synced with upstream
and thus LP is continually updated with upstream translations. But
AFAIU, the problem with distinguishing between upstream and Ubuntu
specific strings is present also for those packages.
