Package Maintainers
All UI translations for packages from the Ubuntu main repository are made available for translation using Launchpad Translations.
Whenever a package from main is uploaded to Ubuntu, a script checks its .po and .pot files and evaluates them for inclusion in Launchpad Translation and the language packs.
Because a source package can contain obsolete or testing .po or .pot files, the first time a .pot file is uploaded, it must be manually approved by one of the Ubuntu Translation Coordinators. You can check the import queue here.
Also, only .po and .pot files that generate .mo files are considered for being included into language packs.
Translations for the packages from main repository are updated using language packs, not by updating the source package.
Please tag bugs using "i18n" (for "internationalization") or "l10n" (for "localization").
