A call was sent to translators on the 16th of June [1], and the upstream project is translated into 23 languages already:

https://translations.launchpad.net/unity-scopes-shell/trunk

It seems like the target languages for bq are covered there too.

Depending on whether the translations are shipped in a click package or as a .deb package, the developer will need to do some work to integrate and ship the translations.

Looking at https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/wily/+source/unity-scopes-shell it seems it's shipped as a .deb package, in which case, I'd recommend using the same setup as other scopes shipped by default. In summary, it's about ensuring that the .deb package generates a .pot file on build, which boils down to:

1. Add X-Ubuntu-Use-Langpack: yes to debian/control's source record
2. Use dh_translations to generate a POT file during the build process.
