Bug Description
I've developed a system for providing a screenshot to translators to illustrate the context in which a message is used in the program, and wanted to help integrate it into Launchpad if there was any interest in such a feature.

If interested in the details, I've published a paper on it in CHI 2012 ( http://
In terms of code, the prototype implementation I used for the paper, which works with gettext message files, is MIT-licensed, and is written in Java, is at https:/

Hi Geza.
We currently do not want to add additional maintenance to Launchpad itself. We prefer new features to be built as services that Lp can exchange data with. Neither Java or C are ideal, Lp is written in Python like most Canonical hosted applications -- The service must be written in a language that any of the Lp staff confidently work with.
