Bug Description

If I want to upload a PO file, I'm presented with the upload page (e.g. https://translations.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/karmic/+source/evolution/+pots/evolution/ca/+upload).

That page has two options: "Updated translation" and "Imported translation". While the current description of what each option does is good for its simplicity and being straight to the point, I believe these options might be still confusing for both new and experienced contributors.

I'd suggest keeping the description as it is and adding a "What's this?" or "Tell me more.." type of link to a help page on help.launchpad.net where each option is explained in detail.

Things like that an "Updated" translation requires a Launchpad field in the header and that it will replace existing translations, whereas an "Imported" translation can be uploaded "as is" could be explained there.

Do we have the required text to be added on those wikipages?

Maybe we can implement it like an overlay dialog, similar to „Restricted” info from this page.

Adi, I'm not sure what you mean by the wiki page, sorry.

I'll add this to my "translations-popup-help" branch and add something tomorrow.

My question was about the existence of such a help page on help.launchpad.net.
