In reply to comment #14 and #15:

Here is the SRU that I mentioned in comment #14: 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise/+source/onboard/+bug/999111

However, the delta between version 0.97.0 and 0.97.1 was considered to huge for 
an SRU, so we were asked whether we could cherry-pick only the fix for the 
translation bug in order to add it to the 0.97.0 package available in the main 
repository for precise. marmuta, the main coder of Onboard since quite some 
time, derived a patch from version 0.97.1 to fix the translation bug in 0.97.0 
in order to propose it as an alternative SRU for precise. Here it is: 
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/precise/+source/onboard/+bug/1023434

The SRU criteria are essentially the same as described in the second SRU
bug thread; in this thread, it is a bug in another language file that
causes Onboard to crash. The purpose of the fix is to have Onboard
ignore the translation strings with errors and keep on running. This is
important, because people using an on-screen keyboard lose their main
interaction device if the on-screen keyboard, which is Onboard in
Ubuntu, crashes.

If the catalan language file has not been updated in the meanwhile
(there was a language pack update a few days ago), the fix can simply be
tested by running Onboard with the catalan language. The details about
how to do it can be found in the second SRU bug thread mentioned here.
