Bug Description

As a result of revision 253 there are a bunch of imports that seem to not make it into the Rosetta database.

https://translations.launchpad.net/lightdm-gtk-greeter/+imports

I'm not sure about the reason, but I have a theory. Both Swedish and German translations have been made afterwards in Launchpad, but before Launchpad had assumed the new template. Then PO files based on the old template have been exported automatically to lp:lightdm-gtk-greeter and then automatically imported to Launchpad. Consequently the import queue now consists of PO files bases on different templates.

I fear that those automatic daily exports from Launchpad is a bad idea, at least right after changes to translatable strings.

Hi Gunnar,

Yes, it does seem like the imports are getting stuck now. It's not usually a problem, but at some point the translation template stopped getting updated. I'll work today at getting that fixed.

The Rosetta template was outdated and is not automatically picked up by Launchpad. I've fixed this now. Please confirm.

Hi Sean,
Yes, the template is up to date now, and I could successfully complete the Swedish translation yesterday, so the problem seems to be gone. The fact that po/lightdm-gtk-greeter.pot is now in the branch should be it.
