One thing we can do, given the fact that Unity (3D) is already
translatable in Launchpad, is to simply fetch the translations (PO
files) from there and commit them to the Unity (2D) branch prior to
exposing it for translation in Launchpad.

This will not avoid duplication of translation work, but it will reduce
it to the minimum.

An appropriate time to do this would probably be around UI Freeze, when
the Unity messages will be stable and when most of the translation
activity happens.
