Update translations. They are out of date.

[Alexey Balmashnov]

Binary package hint: gnome-disk-utility

Please update translations. For example, for Russian only 55% of strings are translated in the packaged .mo, at the same time upstream translation is 100% complete. Strings from this package are exposed in various places (see bug 448734) and we as translators can not do a thing about it ourselves, since the package does not use Launchpad translations infrastructure.

Hi Alexey,

gnome-disk-utility follows the same workflow of all GNOME applications, and the translations are imported as soon as there is a new upstream release. I am guessing that the upstream translation was completed after the 2.28.0 release, and thus was not included in the tarballs and therefore not imported. It should get imported when the 2.28.1 release comes out.

In any case, Ubuntu translators can easily import the translations themselves straight away, and they will be included in language packs, which is one of the advantages of using Launchpad.

Here's how you can do it:

1. Download the upstream translation from Vertimus
2. Go to https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/karmic/+source/gnome-disk-utility/+pots/gnome-disk-utility/ru/+upload to manually import the translation
3. Go to the Browse... entry in the form and browse to the file you downloaded from upstream
4. Choose "Imported translation", since you will be importing an upstream translation
5. Click on Upload
6. Done! Depending on server load, it might take some time to import the translation, which you will be able to track in the import queue link you will be shown.

Thanks for the explanation, just did an upload.

How one may figure out those steps? Did I miss some documentation steps or description of workflows?
