Strings are not translated in installer's welcome slideshow.

[Eugenia T]

Context:
Ubuntu Desktop amd64 ISO-based installer for Hirsute Final

Strings "Shotwell is a handy photo manager that is ready..." are not translated on slide "Have fun with your photos" in Russian and Polish languagies.

Screenshots (1.png and 2.png) are attached.

Thanks for your report!

I think the root cause is old (March 2019) translation templates, i.e. the original string has been changed since then. I just committed an update:

https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubiquity-slideshow/ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu/html/revision/896

At next upload of the ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu package, new and modified strings will become available for translation.

So probably this will improve in Ubuntu 21.10. Maybe in coming 20.04 point releases too.

I uploaded the updated translation templates.

However, the new/modified strings can be translated only when impish has opened for translation (which hasn't happened yet).

It is now translated.
