Comment 8 for bug 1512834

@Flames_in_Paradise: Earlier in December you said that it was "very early" for a report of this kind. What about now? I looked at Xenial translation statistics of ubiquity-slideshow-kubuntu into Italian and it looks like all the strings are translated and the last change was in October 2015.

When is the time when those translations should start to appear in the installer of Kubuntu 16.04 daily build? Or what needs to happen or be done before that happens?

Actually I’m a localizer of another language. And I just tried the latest daily build of Kubuntu 16.04 and found out that I could not get the slide show to appear in any other language than English even though I tried a few languages (Italian, German, French and Finnish) where the slide show was fully or almost fully translated according to translation statistics.

Earlier there have been similar reports for Kubuntu 15.04[1] and Kubuntu 15.10[2] and those don't seem to have been solved. That means that for example in the release build of Kubuntu 15.10 the slide show isn't properly translated and the issue seems technical rather than an issue of untranslated strings. It would be nice if this situation could be avoided in Kubuntu 16.04.

Is there any way I can help to make sure that the slide show appears translated in the final 16.04 build?
