To be clear, afaik, the usage of dh_translations is not a requirement for main inclusion. dh_translations is a means to generate a .pot at build time for them to be imported into Launchpad for 'main' apps to be translatable there and translations to be distributed in language packs. There are some main packages that don't use dh_translations for one reason or another, but I suggested looking into using it so that SDK apps could also benefit from the standard way of doing it in Ubuntu. > >> We can certainly call above xgettext command in dh_translations if >> we detect a project where this command is suitable.
