Translations are not properly imported into Launchpad.

[Andrius Štikonas]

Hello,

I have noticed that sometimes Launchpad does not correctly import upstream
translations. I have noticed this with KDE translations of Lithuanian
language.
For example,
https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/oneiric/+source/kde-workspace/+pots/powerdevilglobalconfig/lt/+details
says
that there are no differences between Ubuntu and upstream (
http://websvn.kde.org/*checkout*/branches/stable/l10n-kde4/lt/messages/kdebase/powerdevilglobalconfig.po)
but e.g. string
https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/oneiric/+source/kde-workspace/+pots/powerdevilglobalconfig/lt/34/+translate
still
uses old upstream translation and the new one is only a suggestion (which
contradicts the fact that there are no differences with upstream) .

There were more examples in
https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/oneiric/+source/kde4libs/+pots/libplasma/lt/
although
I have already fixed them in Launchpad because these strings are very
visible to the end user.
Or e.g.
https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/oneiric/+source/kdenetwork/+pots/kopete/lt/1540/+translate
Current
translation is an old upstream translation while the new one is only a
suggestion.

There are a lot more examples, so it is not possible to list them all. It
seems to me that at lease KDE Lithuanian translations are no longer properly
imported. Maybe somebody can tell if this happens with other languages or
with non KDE translations. Unfortunately, I do not have time to look at this
issue more thoroughly.
