Note that since you guys are now using the upstream project and translations sharing, you can benefit from the Ubuntu translations and get them committed automatically to the upstream branch, without the need of manually exporting them as in the past. That means that you can have translations done in Ubuntu updated daily in the upstream branch. During the development cycle we're releasing language packs weekly, so if you combine that with regular uploads of the ubuntu-docs package (do not need to be weekly, perhaps biweekly or monthly), these translations will make it to the language packs. This way translators can see the result of their work on a regular basis and react much quicker to fix mistakes. I see that the Oneiric upstream series has not yet been opened, but taking Natty as an example, you'll only need to change a couple of settings to enable this workflow here: https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu-docs/natty/+translations-settings On "Import settings", on the left: * Select "Import template files" (there is no need to import translation files if the translation is done in Launchpad) On "Export translations to branch" on the right: * Choose a branch where to automatically commit the translations. * I'd recommend the main branch of the series for a more automated workflow, but you can also choose a separate branch for translations and manually merge it from time to time.
