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 to give time to developers to manually export translations from Launchpad and integrate them into the package.
This deadline simply marks the date (on UTC time) after which it is not guaranteed that the translations of the packages below will be included in the release. Depending on the package, and depending on the maintainer's workflow, it can be that they are exported later, but for translators the main point above still remains: for the packages affected, only translations before this date will be included in the release.
Other packages can still be translated until the LanguagePackTranslationDeadline.
Translations which fall into this category are:
- The Ubuntu installation packages:
- Translations which don't use gettext, including:
The debconf template (please coordinate the translation with Debian upstream)
- Translations included in the source packages
Language selector (including the notification of missing language support)
- Ubuntu documentation
Rebuilding packages
The reasons for packages needing to be rebuilt with a fresh export of translations are various: some packages need to not use language packs, but contain the translations themselves, so that the installation process will be localized. Others contain some highly visible strings, that are coming from xml files, which are populated with translations at package build time. Some packages contain only such strings. These are listed here.
Packages that should contain translations themselves are listed here
If you want to contribute filing bugs or tracking their status, you can use the following bug template. You can see the list of all such bugs with the non-langpack-translation-deadline tag.
