I don't know the exact numbers, but a lot of the content would be from
the GNOME desktop environment.
The GNOME desktop user interface [1] contains about 43500 messages
with 185.000 words or 1.1 million characters (numbers extracted from
English originals). Not all of GNOME UI needs to be translated in
order to achieve a reasonably complete desktop experience -- one
should rather assess and prioritize according to some criteria. Some
strings are "GConf" configuration strings not accessible via the
normal user interface, and they won't be very high priority. Also,
some GNOME modules are developer tools. With the full UI translated,
twice a year we need to update about 2000 messages (maybe a little bit
less nowadays?) to keep up with software updates across the GNOME
codebase.
There are additional Ubuntu-specific strings on Launchpad such as the
installer. Those would not exceed a few thousand messages AFAIK.
Maybe someone knows better.
I hope these figures are helpful.
Thanks a lot for your response, it is very helpful! It's enough to start
ballparking what it would take, which is just what I was looking for.
Best,
Carsten
