That's still the case. > The round about May 2014 this new system came in where you (at least > that is the way it was described to us) must test and approve a > langpack for each locale, otherwise no test = no release. It's only for post release updates. As other stable release updates, also translation updates need some kind of verification. But untested translation updates does not mean that language packs in -release are removed from the archive. It just means (generally) that nothing is added to -updates. > Since this is a non-trivial hurdle Consequently it's no hurdle at all - it's just another opportunity to improve the translation coverage. :) If you have observed that fewer language packs are released in 16.04 compared to e.g. 12.04, it's probably because thresholds have been introduced, so language packs are no longer built for languages with very low translation coverage.

To view the available language packs for the release you are on, you can run: apt-cache search language-pack- -- Gunnar Hjalmarsson https://launchpad.net/~gunnarhj -- ubuntu-translators mailing list ubuntu-translators@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-translators
