Location of translations for package description
Hello, there is a German package description https://packages.debian.org/de/bookworm/backintime-common this is also available in English https://packages.debian.org/en/bookworm/backintime-common It seems to me that the English version is extracted from the control file https://salsa.debian.org/jmw/pkg-backintime/-/blob/debian/debian/control But I'm not able to find the German (or any other translated) version in the source repo. Is this done on the fly in the back somehow? btw: I'm upstream maintainer of that package. Kind Christian Buhtz

Hi Christian, See https://ddtp.debian.org/ and https://wiki.debian.org/DDTP for information on the translation infrastructure for package descriptions. Bye, Joost

Dear Joost, thanks for the reply. I understand there is a project doing this manually.

How do I say that? It is far away from being a documentation understandable by extern persons. I just want to understand how the translations are integrated in the packaging process. I assume from the side of upstream maintainers and debian maintainers no actions required. Correct? I also assume there is an automatic mechanism that the translations are marked as outdated when the original source (e.g. the control file on salsa) is modified. Correct? Kind Christian Buhtz

Correct? I would guess so, indeed. (I am not involved in the project btw.) Bye, Joost
