Comment 7 for bug 683342

I understand your concern, and approve your goal to limit clutter for the user. If the templates got automatically updated when doing "quickly save", I would be happy (that's the same as what I was suggesting with my pre-commit hook).

This would also make the translation process more automatic for a lot of programmers that don't feel concerned with translations (mainly native English developers). Automatically updating the translation templates for them would be a good thing.

The automatic pulling of new translations from Launchpad could most probably be done in "quickly package". That way, when you create a new package, it automatically contains all the latest translations available from Launchpad. Since it's a command you would not execute several times a day (unlike "save"), I suppose the extra time needed to download the translations wouldn't be a problem. But the question is if that could be done automatically, not sure. Right now, requesting a package containing the translations is not instant, it gets generated and a link gets sent to you per email to download that, so I'm not sure you could do that directly from a quickly command... But this is off-topic regarding this bug, maybe we should create a new bug to track these ideas.

To come back to this story, would you then consider adding the translation template update mechanism in "quickly save"?
