Comment: most desktop files can be translated via langpacks now
Deletions are marked like this. Additions are marked like this.
Line 9: Line 9:
 * `.desktop` files (menu entries)  * Strings visible in the default desktop (live CDs don't get language pack updates)
  * Default menu items
  * Panel strings
 * All menu entries in KDE applications, which does not support translation via language packs

Some translation data cannot currently be updated via the language pack mechanism. Because these items require more disruptive integration work, they are subject to an earlier deadline. Translations which fall into this category are:

  • The Ubuntu installer
  • Translations which don't use gettext, including:
    • Firefox
    • HTML documents, such as the "About Ubuntu" page
    • debconf templates

    • desktop notifications via notification-daemon

  • Strings visible in the default desktop (live CDs don't get language pack updates)
    • Default menu items
    • Panel strings
  • All menu entries in KDE applications, which does not support translation via language packs
