This happened to me for Ubuntu Manual. I had translated about 700 strings/texts and then, after one update, all disappeared. If it was the case of such typos as referred in the first message, I don't believe it'd make sense to remove ALL the translations, right? Or did every single one of them had minor changes?
I have to say this only happened to me in the Ubuntu Manual project. I've translated some other projects in Launchpad and it never happened to me, so I could agree it is probably some problem in Ubuntu Manual's settings while importing translations, or something like that. Anyway, don't you have any other idea that could make this happen? -- Translations keep disappearing https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/535371 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bengali Manual, which is subscribed to Ubuntu Manual. Status in Launchpad Translations: Incomplete Status in Ubuntu Manual: New Status in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: I maintain the Ubuntu Manual translations (see lp:ubuntu-manual). I am getting fairly regular feedback from the translators of the project that some of the translations that they do disappear whenever the .pot file is updated. I haven't been able to reliably reproduce this, and I don't really want to start doing something deliberately destructive. The workflow for translations is this: generate .pot file in branch's po/ directory using po4a (http://po4a.alioth.debian.org), push to LP. LP then imports the .pot file and this is translated. The translations are exported to lp:~jshholland/ubuntu-manual/manual-trans then merged back into the main lp:ubuntu-manual branch. Over this time, the content of the manual has changed, so I re-run po4a to regenerate the .pot file. The .po files are also set up to import into Rosetta. Lather, rinse, repeat. If you have suggestions, please point them out :). _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-bengali-manual Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-bengali-manual More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
