According to credits there are LP contributions: Tomas Straupis, ,Launchpad
Contributions:,Tomas Straupis
One should ask from Tomas if he's actually done any work on LP. If he has,
have those contributions been exported from LP to upstream? If LP and
upstream both have the same string, there could be conflict (a bug) when
importing back to LP and thus LP defaults to the old translation. This is
just a wild guess.

Bug #818230 is slightly different issue, where Ubuntu modifications get
overwritten by upstream translations. On the other hand, the issue that
I reported is about upstream translations not overwriting older upstream
translations which is quite bad in my case. At least for Lithuanian
language, KDE S.C. is only translated by upstream translators (as far as I
know, nobody does work on KDE translations into Lithuanian on Launchpad), so
if translations will get old relatively quickly.

This is a serious issue and it's not limited to one specific language. I
believe it affects all projects hosted on Rosetta/LP. A bug has been filed,
see https://bugs.launchpad.net/launchpad/+bug/818230 - please add your
examples/observations there.
And while we're discussing bugs, I'd suggest people to check out the
following links:

There are a lot more examples, so it is not possible to list them all.
It
seems to me that at lease KDE Lithuanian translations are no longer
properly
imported. Maybe somebody can tell if this happens with other languages
or
with non KDE translations. Unfortunately, I do not have time to look at
this
issue more thoroughly.
I have seen this since 2005, and I haven't ever been completely
assured the imports still work 100% problem-free. And I don't mean the
import queue problems, but something deeper. The KDE translations have
always been the ones I've been most worried about, but recently I've
been suspicious about a few Gnome translations equally. Unlike you, I
don't have direct evidence at hand.
At time, and it was a long time ago, I filed bug reports against LP
with examples, and those ones have been marked as fixed. If you could
take your direct examples and file a bug against LP at
https://bugs.launchpad.net/launchpad , I think it could help to again
start looking at if it's possible to truly make everything work as
supposed.
