I believe so as well. I think we should leave them as they are.

The main entry point if you come from a browser is on the main site:

https://translations.launchpad.net/

You see a list of translatable projects on the right and a list of
translatable operating systems on the left. I'll take Ubuntu, rather
than a project, for the example.

You can then select a distro series (e.g. karmic) and you'll be
presented with a list of languages in which you can translate Ubuntu:

https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/karmic/+translations

You then select a language (e.g. en_GB) and you'll be taken to the list
of translatable templates (see note [1] at the end of the message):

https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/karmic/+lang/en_GB

You can then navigate the list of templates and find the one you want to
translate by clicking on it:

https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/karmic/+source/quassel/+pots/desktop-quassel/en_GB/+translate

So you can see the structure of the URL:

<Launchpad-Translations>: https://translations.launchpad.net
<OS>:                     ubuntu
<distro-series>:          karmic
<source-package>:         +source/quassel
<templates-list>:         +pots
<template>:               desktop-quassel
<language>:               en_GB
<translation-page>:       +translate

<Launchpad Translations>/<OS>/<distro series>/<source
package>/<templates-list><template>/<language>/<translation-page>

Depending on what you want to do, you can break the URL above depending
on what you're interested to see:

* All translation templates for a given source package:

<Launchpad-Translations>/<OS>/<distro-series>/<source
package>/<templates list>

* All languages a particular template is translated to:

<Launchpad-Translations>/<OS>/<distro-series>/<source
package>/<templates-list><template>

* Translation page:

<Launchpad Translations>/<OS>/<distro series>/<source
package>/<templates-list><template>/<language>/<translation-page>

* Template description

<Launchpad Translations>/<OS>/<distro series>/<source
package>/<templates-list><template>/<language>

Note that some of those pages will be displayed differently (e.g. more
or less languages will be shown) depending on which preferred language
you set in your Launchpad preferences.

These are perhaps the main ones. There are also URLs for uploading and
downloading PO files, etc., but I don't want to go into much details. If
you want to know more, I'm sure the Launchpad Translations guys (Danilo,
Henninge or Jeroen) will be happy to expand on that.

The other entry point is trough the "Help > Translate this application"
menu mostly all Ubuntu apps add to their main menus through an Ubuntu
patch. On clicking that option, a browser window will open and you'll be
taken to the translation page for that particular application.

<Launchpad Translations>/<OS>/<distro series>/<source
package>/<templates-list><template>/<language>/<translation-page>

By the way, here's a question to the Kubuntu guys: as far as I know,
this is done through the Launchpad integration library
(https://launchpad.net/launchpad-integration), the translations of which
are here:

https://translations.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/karmic/+source/launchpad-integration/+pots/launchpad-integration/en_GB/+translate

I can see those texts translated in the Help menus of GNOME
applications, however, in KDE applications in Kubuntu they always appear
untranslated (they are the "Get Help Online" and "Translate This
Application" texts in every help menu). Does anyone know how these are
used in Kubuntu apps?

I hope this could help.

Regards,
David. 

[1] Note: the list can be ordered according to a priority value we can
give to templates. We (the ubuntu-translations-coordinators team) are
planning to better prioritise the list, but we haven't started yet.
