Ubuntu Precise Open for Translation

[David Planella]

Hi translators,

I am pleased to announce that our current development release, Ubuntu
Precise, is now open for translation:

    https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu

Some additional information that will be useful for translators:

- Translation schedule. Remember that according to the release schedule
[1] translatable messages might be subject to change until the User
Interface Freeze [2] on the week of the 23rd of February.

- Language packs. During the development cycle, language packs
containing translations will be released twice per week [3] except for
the freeze periods. This will allow users and translators to quickly see
and test the results of translations.

- Test and report bugs. If you notice any issues (e.g. untranslated
strings or applications), do check with the translation team for your
language [4] first. If you think it is a genuine bug, please report it [5].

- Learn more. Learn how to start translating Ubuntu and enable millions
to use it in their language [6].

Ubuntu 12.04 will be a Long Term Support release, so let’s rally around
translations to provide the best translated OS around and go over the
mark of nearly 40 languages [7] in which Ubuntu is fully translated!
