No, you misunderstood my explanation. Rosetta translations have
precedence over upstream ones. We only use the ones from upstream when
we don't have any translation in Rosetta.

For upstream people, we plan to import the templates as products so any
translation done by them will appear as suggestions for the Ubuntu
packages.
