Translator credits shown as untranslated (and untranslatable) strings

[David Planella]

I've recently noticed something that looks like bug 128324 coming back with a vengeance: translation templates in Launchpad show an additional untranslated string for the translator credits.

* The translator credit string should be hidden from the translations UI, but it seems this is not the case with some templates now
* Also it should not count as an untranslated message, since it is translated automatically by Launchpad without human intervention
* The way the bug can be reproduced right now does not allow translators to have 100% translated packages, because they cannot modify the translations credit string.

Here are a couple of examples:

https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/oneiric/+source/empathy/+pots/empathy/en_AU/+translate?show=untranslated
https://translations.launchpad.net/deja-dup/20/+pots/deja-dup-help/ca/1/+translate

This seems to be a regression, although I do not know exactly when it started happening. I've noticed one string myself today and a translator has pointed another one out again just today, so it might be something recent.

Definitely sounds like a regression, though I don't think anyone has touched this area of code recently. Could have been sitting there unnoticed for a few months.

Uhm, actually, this seems to be a duplicate of 503421, so it was already known that the bug was not fully solved.
