Karmic translations are now open

[Mads Bille Lundby]

Hi David

Are any decisions made about the translation deadlines for the
different categories of Ubuntu translations (language pack, other
Launchpad translations etc.).

It would be nice to know if the deadlines will be before, after or
approx. at the same time as the Gnome release.

Cheers,

Mads Lundby
