We hit a bug there, I'm going to prepare a workaround for this.

Please, don't translate any template set as deprecated. Said that....

gaim template is already 1.5.0

Please, check for it tonight, we did some improvements to the way the
queue works so if a file fails, the queue is not stalled. On Wednesday
we did a huge import and I hope tonight all imports will be done. If
it's not, tell me it again and I will take a close review.

They are in URLs like:

https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/breezy/+sources/language-selector/+pots/language-selector

The main problem is that we are missing the published information for
breezy, as soon as it's added to launchpad, you can get them from
https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/breezy/+sources in the mean time,
you can do that adding by hand the name of the .deb package to the URL.

The menu entries should be together with the .deb source where the
application is. Unfortunately, Mozilla translations are not yet handled
with Rosetta, but the others should.

The other problem with menus is that the language packs are not ready to
handle them, so the .po file should be added to the .deb source to get
it.
