Hi Pierre,

Sorry for the delay in replying, I just found some time to look into
this issue.

Evolution is set to use bzr imports from the upstream GNOME branch. This
way, the PO files are imported directly from bzr and shared with Ubuntu,
which makes (in theory) new translations be imported daily.

However, there seems to be something wrong with the upstream bzr import,
as it's creating 3 versioned translatable templates, which means
translations from the branch are not imported.

For now, I've disabled upstream sharing for the evolution template, and
translations should be imported using the traditional package upload
mechanism.

Cheers,
David.
