<br>Since xfce packages moved to main their translations are stripped at build time and put in the base language packs,<br>where translations for the rest of the system is. So for every locale the specific language pack needs to be installed
<br>to get the translations. This means they can be worked on even after dapper release and get updated from rosetta<br>translations without uploading the specific xfce packages themselves.<br><br>Jani<br><br>
