There has been a bottleneck during the upload of the translation
packages from Upstream (KDE and Gnome) on the Launchpad servers
(server issue and wrong priority settings for POT and PO files I
guess) and like 80'000+ packages had to be uploaded manually. With
only two people this took longer than necessary for the final language
packages to make it into the release. The final packages are available
for most of the languages through update since a day or two.
Certainly this will improve for the next release.
