Hey there,

There is a new Ubuntu Desktop Installer in the work and it's now 
translatable on
https://hosted.weblate.org/projects/ubuntu-desktop-installer/ubuntu-desktop-installer/

For those wondering the choice of platform, the frontend is written in 
flutter and there is no integration in launchpad for that translation 
format so we checked around and weblate sounded like the right choice.

You only need to do the translation work on the website and the update 
will automatically be proposed for merging to the github repository.

Note that weblate integrates an 'automatic translation' item in the 
tools menu which allows you to automatically import existing 
translations as either suggestion or directly as translations. Since the 
interface is similar to the ubiquity one and often use the same strings 
we imported the current ubiquity translations which combined with the 
previously mentioned feature should allow to start easily your 
translations by reusing the work done on ubiquity.

Cheers,
Sebastien Bacher
