Hi Denis,

Right now the translations should be direct, communicating precisely what the original msgid communicates.

I would love to see deeper localizaiton for our web infrastructure, but this isn't the place to do it. (For example, it would be interesting if Launchpad Translations was structured more like a community hub).
It's really important to keep in mind that this, as shipped, needs to work for 5 years. By sticking with official resources, we can be very confident of that.

Same deal for our support links. The links to ubuntu.com/support and ubuntu.com/community are used because we can guarantee their continued existence for 5 years and (of course) they are official. Content within those can be tailored to specific audiences and is kept up to date as the landscape changes.

On a different subject, though, at risk of derailing the bug report (sorry!), do you feel that pointing users directly to translate.launchpad.net is flawed? Maybe there is a different web resource that makes sense for all cases.
