** Description changed: Software Center should indicate whether software is translated for example by including a small flag icon. This way non-English-speaking users can see if the application is available in their local language when it contains a translated package description. Otherwise, translated package descriptions might mislead the user to believe the application is available in his/her local language. http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/27948/ See also bug 706571. + + Some use cases this would fix: + + a) non-english user clicks on a program name to see more info, sees + the description in English and assumes the program is not translated + and therefore doesn't install it, even though it might be translated + into his native tongue. + + b) non-english user finds a program with a translated description, + installs it only to find out the program itself is not translated and + is therefore no use to him/her. + + c) user wants to install a music player in his native language. When + searching for "music player" in the software center 10 hits appear but + the user cannot filter the programs translated into his native tongue + and therefore has to use trial and error. + + d) a one line description (po-app-install data) is translated, but + description (ddtp-ubuntu) is not or vice versa. User is just confused.
