"Search" button not translated on the start.ubuntu.com start page

[Timo Jyrinki]

The Search button is not translated. This has already been widely discussed, but since it's still not fixed I thought a bug number would be also useful to refer to. Linking this to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TranslatingUbuntu/JauntyTranslationIssues and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TranslatingUbuntu/IntrepidTranslationIssues.

These translations are collected as a backup plan, in case a more proper Launchpad-based translation possibility does not become available in time. Discussion about the more proper model at https://lists.canonical.com/archives/ubuntu-website/2009-March/000599.html

UPDATE: Please translate at https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu-start-page - if all goes well, translations from there are used and the translations in this bug report are not needed.

Please note! The "Search" string is now available for translation at:

https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu-start-page

Everyone, update translation there instead of here, since there is a good chance we now have a final solution on how to get the translations into use.

[Tomasz Dominikowski (dominikowski)]

Try accessing http://start.ubuntu.com/9.04/index.html.pl

Why does is want to download the html file instead of displaying it?

[Timo Jyrinki (timo-jyrinki)]

Ok, fix released at http://start.ubuntu.com/9.04/, and more translations can be done at https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu-start-page.

Tomasz: please file a separate bug about the .pl page, but I can reproduce the problem.
