It is a pretty major rewrite, but what I mean above is that the topics
covered are the same and the tone remains similar. So, while it doesn't
exactly jive with typical translation guidelines, the previous stuff
should fit adequately. As long as it is consistent, that is. (Currently,
the build script can generate slides that are half in the original
strings and half translated strings, which feels like a bug to be
fixed).

Of course, that wouldn't be ideal, especially since Rosetta won't make
any distinction for the old translations so they could stick around for
a while longer than they need to.

The ones I mentioned have changes to content. For example,
installing-software had plain incorrect information in it, ubuntuone is
of course brand new, and empathy is essentially brand new since it used
to be the Pidgin slide with less information.

I will try to keep track of this myself, too. My scheduling skills are
clearly not to be trusted, though ;)

To be honest, I am not entirely sure. I'm getting this through Evan, who
says that the Live CD adheres to the same schedule as the rest of main
and we can go beyond the 15th. This can land pretty easily, and the
upload of new translations can happen at the same time we (hopefully)
upload the RTL language support bug fix. The next deadline is, as you
know, the RC disk (by the 22nd, preferably a bit before - let's say the
21st to be safe), which would be ideal. Fitting something in beyond that
_would_ be troublesome.

Okay :) I just felt I should propose that. If there is any busy work I
can do, though, let me know.
