Hi Hannie I'm a translator and don't know all that much, so the following are just my impressions/opinions. I have also found that imports in Ubuntu are very difficult to figure out. The safe way is to specifically commit/import the translation both to the original project and in Launchpad. I don't know who is ultimately "responsible", but at least it is something you *can* choose to do yourself. My advice is therefore to do it yourself, even if it's not your responsibility. It may be necessary to file a bug report to have it included in a language pack now, after the release. In the near future, Launchpad should get automatic bzr imports from gnome in particular, which means synchronization will happen within a day, I think. I don't know the complete prospects for this feature, but it sure will make life easier.
