Comment 2 for bug 172780

No, is not the same thing, In fact, i'm not sure it's really a bug, that's why I said that we should validate it.

The possible problem I see is that we get a message fully translated from upstream (packaged or imported) and, for some reason, someone removes its translation in Launchpad. Current statistics use what we got from upstream as the base 'translated' number and then, we add the new translated in Launchpad to get the total. In the case I just explained, we would still count that untranslated string as translated because we use the imported one as the base.

Is that more clear now?
