Bug Description
We're using Launchpad translations for translating Gourmet Recipe Manager (https:/
BTW, where does the funky directory structure of the downloaded tarball come from -- is that from the original import (which wasn't done by myself)? Everything is in po/gourmet-xx.po or po/gourmet-xx_YY.po except for mainland Chinese which is in gourmet/zh_CN.po. Trying to upload a new tarball last night failed with a timeout, BTW (maybe because of a slightly different layout with everything in po/xx.po and po/xx_YY.po ?)
Many locales aren't hugely different from their parent language, so we recommend that they just inherit the base language's translations. These languages aren't shown by default in Launchpad's web UI. So de_AT should just fall back to de, nl_BE to nl, etc., to avoid having to duplicate translation work for almost indistinguishable locales.
As for the tarball structure, paths are indeed taken from the tarball from which they were originally imported.
