[Translations] translations in the package can't be imported into Launchpad, .pot template files missing

[Arne Goetje]

Binary package hint: python-django

The translations shipped with the packages cannot be imported into Launchpad, because of multiple reasons:

1. the .pot template files are missing. Without those, the translations cannot be used. Please make sure that the package generates the .pot templates on build time.

2. The directory structure for translations is wrong. Template and translations for a single domain should live in one single subdirectory. .po filenames should only carry the language code.
Examples:
po/django/django.pot
po/django/de.po
po/django/es.po

po/djangojs/djangojs.pot
po/djangojs/de.po
po/djangojs/es.po

3. Currently those files live in multiple different directories, like
 * django/conf/
 * tests/regressiontests/views/ (those won't be used anyways and can be removed)
 * debian/python-django/usr/share/pyshared/django/conf/
 * debian/tmp/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/django/conf/

They should only live in one directory tree, preferably po/, like the example in 2.

4. please rename the following language codes:
 * no -> nb ('no' is obsolete)
 * sr_Latn -> sr@latin

This bug seems to be very old. Can you re-check and see if the bug is still there?

Still valid: https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/maverick/+source/python-django/+imports?field.filter_status=all&field.filter_extension=pot
No pot files, but lots of po files.

I'm going to mark this as wont fix as Maverick is EOL.
