Announcing new Lucid language packs for the 10.04.2 release

[Hannie]

Hello David,
While checking https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+lang/nl/ 
I noticed that gcalctool still has 124 strings untranslated or need review.
Since I have recently completed gcalctool at Gnome, 
http://l10n.gnome.org/module/gcalctool/, I presume that Lucid uses an 
older version, but which one?

*Branches:* master <http://l10n.gnome.org/module/gcalctool/#master> - 
gnome-2-32 <http://l10n.gnome.org/module/gcalctool/#gnome-2-32> - 
gnome-2-30 <http://l10n.gnome.org/module/gcalctool/#gnome-2-30> - 
gnome-2-28 <http://l10n.gnome.org/module/gcalctool/#gnome-2-28> - 
gnome-2-26 <http://l10n.gnome.org/module/gcalctool/#gnome-2-26> - 
gnome-2-24 <http://l10n.gnome.org/module/gcalctool/#gnome-2-24> - 
gnome-2-22 <http://l10n.gnome.org/module/gcalctool/#gnome-2-22> - 
gnome-2-20 <http://l10n.gnome.org/module/gcalctool/#gnome-2-20> - 
gnome-2-18 <http://l10n.gnome.org/module/gcalctool/#gnome-2-18>

What strikes me is that at Damned Lies it has 223 messages, while in 
Launchpad there are 452, what a difference!

Can you advise me on what to do with this?

Regards,
Hannie
