Unclear strings - Ubuntu phone

[David Planella]

Hi all,

Sorry for the delay. My recommendation would be to file bugs against each
one of those projects. As Fòram was saying, you can just click on the
"Bugs" tab of the project you are translating and file them there. That'd
be the best solution, as even if we answer the questions on this list, it's
a more permanent solution to clarify the string in a translator comment, as
not all translators are on this list, and even those on the list might not
see this thread.

In terms of contacting someone to ask them, if you look at the Code tab in
the project you are translating, you'll see the developers who are working
on it. You can also ask on the #ubuntu-app-devel channel, where a bunch of
them hang out. Report-Msgid-Bugs-To is not used simply because there is no
mailing list for those projects.

Cheers,
David.
