After talking to Danilo, I understand that this is a data migration issue rather than a bug.
He's provided me some data about the projects affected (~50) and a workaround to mark the empty messages as shared (by exporting Ubuntu translations and uploading them in the upstream project), so I'm happy with lowering the importance of the bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Launchpad Yellow Squad, which is a bug assignee. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/775691 Title: Empty translations on one side do not get translated by the other side Status in Launchpad itself: Triaged Bug description: David Planella wrote: > I first noticed that on this particular translation: > > https://translations.launchpad.net/synaptic/main/+pots/synaptic/ca/5/+translate > > Notice that I translated it in Ubuntu and I have permissions on both > projects as part of the Catalan Ubuntu Translators and Catalan Launchpad > Translators teams. > > Having translated it in Ubuntu, I would have expected that the > translation would have been carried over automatically to Synaptic > through message sharing, without me having to do the extra step of going > to the upstream project and accepting it.
