[FFe] upgrade KDE localisations/translations for KDE to 16.12

[Rik Mills]

Reported against kde-l10-engb, but a FFE for all translations.

The KDE localisations/translations need to be updated to the current release v 16.12.3 in line with our apps.

These are currently still at version 16.04.3 so badly in need of the update.

We would like to get these uploaded and through into release for testing in the beta. These should pass rapidly through proposed.

Testing so far has not revealed any issues (en_GB, Spanish, German, Polish etc), but with 55 languages wider testing in the beta would be very advantageous.

Releases since last update to 16.04.3 are 16.08.0, 16.08.1, 16.08.2, 16.08.3, 16.12.0, 16.12.1, 16.12.3, 16.12.3.

KDE do not detail changelogs for translations with the release notes (impractical I guess), but the svn for example en_GB can be found here:

https://websvn.kde.org/trunk/l10n-kf5/en_GB/messages/applications/

Our staging builds of these packages we have been testing can be found here:

As the kde applications don't ship their own translations but bundle that in kde-l10n, the l10n version should always match the majority of the app versions in a release. With most of apps 16.12 already in zesty, this should be updated ASAP.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

+1 This should happen ASAP

I'm not on the Release Team, but isn't a FFe unnecessary for translations?

Can't find that stated anywhere?

From today on #ubuntu-release

[18:15] <infinity> acheronuk: If, as the bug title implies, it's just
translations and docstrings, that freeze isn't until the 30th, and you
need no exception

So seems that is OK. Thanks Jeremy. :)

Done I think?
