Bug Description

Because there was a change that made the string "wi-fi" to "Wi-Fi" (changeset 2a8983ca), this made all translations involving with "wi-fi" unable to match the translation string.

Thanks for your report.

The related changes to the translation template were made through the upload of ubiquity 22.01.10 on March 28. Admittedly that was a bit late, since UserInterfaceFreeze happened on March 17, but I don't really see a bug here. We simply have a situation where the translators of many languages didn't attend to those strings before NonLanguagePackTranslationDeadline on April 7.

What can be done now, if those untranslated strings are considered important, is to call the translators' attention to it via the ubuntu-translators mailing list. That way more translations can be added before the 22.04.1 point release.

Thanks. These are reported by our OEM customers, and (IMO more importantly) is visible during installation, so it has certain kind of priority here.

I am trying to do the part in Traditional Chinese translations (unreviewed), and calling for translation should be quite helpful.
