Re: Uploading po files

It's hard to say, that's for sure. I suspect many people who struggle never actually make it as far as the list but just give up. Perhaps the figures for translator-only attrition could shed some light on this, if they existed. Also, LP seems to have not so great a reputation out there amongst

Re: Uploading po files

I think that would be a great step forward to determine what can be improved as it would be beneficial to the project as a whole. Question becomes how would be the best way to go about determining what can be improved. @David P Can you explain to us how translation works? Do translators use the l

Re: Uploading po files

Launchpad is actually a very simple yet powerful tool for translations. As an English speaking based locale I found it very easy to understand and start translating by reading the instructions on the wiki. I cannot speak for non-English based languages as I'm not sure how well the instructions are

Hi Michael, First of all, all the work that you've done has not been in vain. You can still upload your translations for the latest release and due to message sharing, they will propagate to all Ubuntu versions in Launchpad. Some messages will have changed, but I bet the majority of original Engli

I would like to say that a lot of the information is there within the Ubuntu wiki and Launchpad, and is fairly obvious. For example, Ubuntu releases have always had a codename linked with the version number. Codenames are done alphabetically, so Raring will be newer than Oneiric. Releases are
