Skype

[Michael Bauer]

Question. We run a community translation project for the lang and ts/qm 
files for Skype (we're not Windows, before anyone asks) over on 
Transifex 
(https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/skype-translation-project/). It 
started off with a focus on smaller, unsupprted languages for Windows 
but since we figured out how to do the files for Linux, a number of 
larger languages have also come onboard, like Greek or Brazilian.

We currently generate the ts/qm files manually and then put them on 
SourceForge 
(https://sourceforge.net/projects/skypeinyourlang/files/Linux/) with 
instructions (there's a moderatly annoying name change you have to 
implement) 
https://sourceforge.net/p/skypeinyourlang/wiki/Installing%20a%20language%20file/ 
about how to do that on Linux.

Is there any interest to somehow bundle these with Ubuntu so people 
don't have to do this themselves? I don't know if Launchpad handles ts 
files and someone would have to fiddle a bit with the integration (in a 
nutshell, the Linux interface will offer you languages not bundled with 
the default package as long as the filename follows a certain pattern, 
see the instructions on the page I linked).

Happy to file a bug but I wanted to gauge interest/feasibility to begin 
with.

Cheers

Michael
