The definitive information: Launchpad definitely sucks with xml
translations.

The gweather location's translations are taken from an xml file, which
is filled with translations at compile time. Launchpad however doesn't
seem to export and put translations back to the sources before compiling
the package, so updated translations are not used at all if they should
go into xml files.

That affects lots of other packages, like xkeyboard-config[1],
compiz-fusion-plugins, gcompris, xscreensaver - just to name some. And
the .schemas files for gnome programs using gconf are xmls too.
