<div dir="ltr">Hello everyone,<div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">Last week we had a meeting of the Greek translation team and we started talking about launchpad's cooperation with upstream, especially Gnome. I'm still not 100% sure how it works, so let me describe how I think it works, and see if you agree.</div>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br></div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br></div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">Suppose we have a gnome package, say NAUTILUS. </div>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">To start with, it is translated in Gnome, and Launchpad inherits the Gnome translation automatically. Correct?</div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">
<br></div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">One of the strings to translate is "Good". The French team has mistakenly translated it as "Bienn" in Gnome. Someone corrects it to "Bien" in Launchpad.</div>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">Now, the translation shown in Ubuntu is "Bien". Correct?</div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br></div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">
4 new strings are added to NAUTILUS. These are translated in Gnome but not in Launchpad.</div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">Does Ubuntu inherit those new translations, or does it show those strings as untranslated? </div>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br></div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">If the new strings show as untranslated, is there anything the French translators team/administrators can do to force Launchpad to automatically use the upstream translations again?</div>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br></div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">If the new strings show as translated, what happens if the French translation of "Good" in Gnome is updated and becomes "Bon"?</div>
<div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">The translation in Ubuntu remains "Bien" or does it become "Bon"?</div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br></div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">
Is the procedure the same with Debian packages?</div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br></div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">Is there some kind of definitive/automatically updated list of preinstalled Ubuntu packages that are translated exclusively in Launchpad? Also, a list of packages shared with Gnome and Debian?</div>
</div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br></div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">Thanks in advance,</div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px"><br></div>
