Awesome, thanks Andrea for the update! This will mean MyUnity will get into the archive for Precise, but as I was suggesting the other day, why not get the best of both worlds and do both (i.e. submit to the archive and to extras)? This way MyUnity would be in extras for 11.10 and in the archive for 12.04. We're trying to get more Open Source apps in extras and people to use the Ubuntu App Developer site, so if you would like to consider submitting MyUnity to https://myapps.developer.ubuntu.com and give us some feedback on how the process worked for you, that'd be awesome. > - MyUnity source code is now on a bzr branch on LP.

It might be because it's hidden or because there are multiple .pot files in the same directory. You should only have one .pot file in the directory where translations are done. Launchpad does not care what you do with translations at runtime, so you can keep loading them the way Gambas expects. The only thing you need is for your build system to: a) Create a .pot file inside a (non-hidden) directory b) Convert the .po files generated by Launchpad into .mo files Or you can do this manually. But obviously, having the build system to do it for you will be much easier in terms of automating the tasks. I can help you setting up your project in Launchpad to start using translations. I'll need to see how to best do it without you having to modify too much your project layout (e.g. adding a po/FMain.pot symlink), but let me come back to you once I've found out more. In the meantime, though, you can upload translations manually to Launchpad, so that they are exposed to Launchpad and translators can do their work. You only need to: 1. Create a tarball containing your .pot file and (optionally) any .po file translations you might already have. 2. Upload it to the trunk series using the "upload" link at https://translations.launchpad.net/myunity/trunk This will get you started with translations already, until we find the best way to automate it with automatic translation imports and exports.
