Ubuntu Translation Statistics

These statistics represent the percentage of translation coverage in all languages for a given Ubuntu version at release time. As such, they provide an indicator of how well translated Ubuntu in a given language and release is. They are not intended to offer any other additional information such as how good font support or input methods for that language are.

The current method for calculating them is based on:

  • Raw export of translation data from the Launchpad database as the source data

  • Considering only the applications that are included in a default Ubuntu Desktop Edition installation.
  • Ignoring the applications that do not provide visible messages to the user. That generally means not considering the translation status of command line applications for the calculation.
  • Note that this prioritisation is not done at the string level (i.e. most visible messages), but at the template level (i.e. most visible applications). The current translation infrastructure does not allow for string prioritisation and 100% accurate statistics, but it has been found that doing it at the application level offers a good compromise.
  • A script to process the data and produce an HTML report.

More technical details can be found in the description of the code.

Important notes

LibreOffice translation statistics not included in the final result for Ubuntu 11.04

Due to LibreOffice not being translatable in Launchpad, its translation statistics data was not included in the final calculation. As LibreOffice is a big application in terms of the amount of translatable messages, this might have had an impact in the translation coverage of some languages in the statistics.

OpenOffice.org translation statistics not included in the final result for Ubuntu 10.10

Due to OpenOffice.org no longer being translatable in Launchpad, its translation statistics data was not included in the final calculation. As OpenOffice.org is a big application in terms of the amount of translatable messages, this might have had an impact in the translation coverage of some languages in the statistics.
