Translating the Ubuntu flutter applications (including the installer)

[Sebastien Bacher]

Dear Translators,

Some cycles ago I emailed[1] the translators list to let them know that 
the new installer (which is written in flutter) could be translated in 
weblate

The initial reason still stands today

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.

Going forward we had an issue in 23.10 due to the open permissions used 
for the project

We have now updated our configuration to restrict the strings validation 
to trusted members. We currently don't have a way to automatically map 
our existing launchpad translation teams to Weblate but if you part of a 
~ubuntu-l10n-<locale> group on launchpad and would like to help by 
validating translations also on Weblate we will happily add you as a 
reviewer for your language. Please reply to this email (either in 
private to me or on the list) with the email you use for weblate and we 
will get you added.

The translation project got renamed as part of the changes and includes 
the installer/provisioning components as well as the app-center and 
firmware-updater
