Most common strings?

[Ask Hjorth Larsen]

Hi Michael

Please remember if you fix errors in e.g. GNOME or KDE to propagate
those fixes to the upstream GNOME and KDE teams, and other upstreams
like translationproject.org etc. that are not too exotic to locate; in
fact the easiest way would be to apply fixes directly upstream and
wait for the strings to propagate to Ubuntu.

The first one or two pages on the Launchpad listing contain many
Ubuntu-only modules for which this is not necessary, for example the
installers.  These are probably considered so important in Ubuntu
because they are Ubuntu-only, whereas almost all the programmes a
couple of pages down the list have a separate translation team in
charge somewhere on the internet.

Best regards
