This is a good suggestion. Erdal started a "Important Packages to
Translate" page, but that included both upstream and ubuntu-breeded
packages. I think you're right when you suggest we should have a clear
list of things that are "Ubuntu-specific", or created inside ubuntu, so
people know they can translate in Rosetta with no fear to conflicts with
upstream translators.

This would be a start, Ubuntu-only:

update-manager
bootup-manager
art-manager
hwdb-client (not yet i18n'd?)
gnome-app-install
gnome splash screen manager (not sure about this one)
language-selector
ubuntu-doc templates
firefox start page

There are more. Do you want to start a wiki page that people can
complete as they find more Ubuntu/Kubuntu-specific stuff?
