<> = Introduction = Following UDS and meeting discussions, during the Karmic cycle we've started using the [[https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-translations|Ubuntu Translations]] project as a central place to report and manage translation bugs. This has the benefits of providing: * A central location to have an overview and keep track of all Ubuntu/Kubuntu translation bugs * A container for Ubuntu bugs which in the past had wrongly been filed against Launchpad Translations * The possibility for those interested in contributing to fixing translation-related bugs to [[https://help.launchpad.net/Bugs/Subscriptions|subscribe to bug mail]] and get notified of new bugs ||{{attachment:Translations/info.png}}||If you want to contribute fixing translation bugs in Ubuntu, or you simply want to be notified about them, you can [[https://launchpad.net/ubuntu-translations/+subscribe|subscribe to Ubuntu Translations bugmail]]|| = Procedure = The recommended procedure for filing translation bugs related to Ubuntu is the following: * '''CHECKLIST''': make sure that the bug falls roughly in one of the following example categories: * A string from an application is not available for translation in Launchpad Translations * An application from the Ubuntu main repository is not available for translation in Launchpad Translations * A translation made in Launchpad Translations is not updated in the Ubuntu language packs * A source package has the wrong (or an inconsistent) translation domain * You find a duplicate template * A template/translation is no longer used in Ubuntu and should be deleted from the distro page in Launchpad Translations * Errors in spellcheckers or language support * '''FILING THE BUG''': [[https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs|file a bug]] against the corresponding package. If you don't know the package, you can skip to the next step and someone will try to assign it the right package. * '''OPENING A BUG TASK''': open a bug task against the `ubuntu-translations` project by using the ''Also affects project'' link. Here's how you can open a bug task. <

The most common ones are [[https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-translations/+bugs?field.tag=l10n|l10n]] for issues related to translated strings and [[https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-translations/+bugs?field.tag=i18n|i18n]] for issues related to internationalization infrastructure. || [[Translations/KnowledgeBase|<< Back to the Translations Knowledgebase]] || ---- CategoryTranslations
