[Bug 1707898] Re: systemd translations are not synced with upstream

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson]

This is my test on artful:

I made this modification:

$ cat /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/org.freedesktop.locale1.policy | grep '"systemd"' -A 1
                <message gettext-domain="systemd">Authentication is required to set the system locale.</message>
                <defaults>

i.e. I dropped the inline translations for that message.

Then I renamed /usr/share/gettext/its/polkit.{its,loc}:

$ ls /usr/share/gettext/its/polkit*
/usr/share/gettext/its/polkit.its.bak  /usr/share/gettext/its/polkit.loc.bak

I switched to a non-admin user and run:

localectl set-locale LANG=en_US.UTF-8

and the prompt was translated dynamically. So yes, they are probably
only used at build time in some sense.

But people use xgettext() and similar tools manually too, and if we move
those files to libpolkit-gobject-1-dev, you'd need to install that
package in order to extract messages from polkit files.

Bug description:
  Translations for systemd are outdated because they do not seem to be
  synced with the upstream ones.

  For example the Czech one:
  Launchpad: https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/artful/+source/systemd/+pots/systemd/cs/+translate - 0% translated
  Upstream: https://github.com/systemd/systemd/blob/master/po/cs.po - 100% translated
