That's still the case.

It's only for post release updates. As other stable release updates,
also translation updates need some kind of verification. But untested
translation updates does not mean that language packs in -release are
removed from the archive. It just means (generally) that nothing is
added to -updates.

Consequently it's no hurdle at all - it's just another opportunity to
improve the translation coverage. :)

If you have observed that fewer language packs are released in 16.04
compared to e.g. 12.04, it's probably because thresholds have been
introduced, so language packs are no longer built for languages with
very low translation coverage.

To view the available language packs for the release you are on, you can
run:

apt-cache search language-pack-

PS: if there is somewhere where one can see the langpacks produced for 
each release of Ubuntu, I can count myself but I've looked and not found 
anything obvious so far.

It's unclear to me what you are really asking and why. I have nudged the
translators to complete the translations before the coming translation
update. One reason is that a few translatable strings were changed post
release. Why are you assuming that this will affect the number of
released language packs?

Re: ubuntu-docs SRU / Xenial translation update

[Michael Bauer]

Previously translations were just pulled automatically when the packs 
were built for a new release. The round about May 2014 this new system 
came in where you (at least that is the way it was described to us) must 
test and approve a langpack for each locale, otherwise no test = no release.


Since this is a non-trivial hurdle and since it has been a while, I was 
curious as to how many locales Ubuntu was releasing langpacks for in, 
let's say 2013 and how many in the last release involving langpacks.


The hurdle (and my question) here is not about getting translations done 
but the obligatory testing and how that affects locales.

I'm curious - how many language packs (i.e. for how many locales) does 
Ubuntu actually still release? I'm curious as to the (potential) drop in 
the number of released language packs before and after this testing step 
was made compulsory.

The deadline for the Xenial update of the ubuntu-docs translations is on
June 16th, i.e. in three weeks. For most other packages, translations
made by June 23rd will be reflected in the first language pack update
for Xenial.
