Comment 4 for bug 423705

Hi Adi,

Keeping track of what translations a user has to send upstream would involve a lot more changes. Launchpad would have to know or decide somehow whether a project represents upstream or whether upstream is interested, as well as who should send which translations—the translators, the reviewers, the maintainers in Launchpad, the translation group owners, the upstream authors, an upstream team for the project group, maintainers in Debian or some other place that's upstream from Ubuntu but downstream from the authors, someone in charge of translations that LP doesn't know about, or some dedicated team somewhere. Then, we'd have to figure out which translations have been sent up so that we can remove them from the list.

I think it's primarily up to the Ubuntu community to come up with a good protocol for this, and once we know there is an effective working arrangement, we could start building support for it. Arne has already put some thought into keeping track of the major package origins (GNU, Debian, Gnome, KDE etc.) and that could be a start, once implemented.

The reason for the strange behaviour you're seeing is that the lists on your home page are complemented with pseudo-random suggestions. Those are likely to be different every time you load the page, and we don't show them in the full listings.

Could you file a bug for breaking packages down into separate templates in the listings? We had to aggregate the listings to keep them short, but it's not always going to present the best possible summary of any given situation. We have a separate module to do this aggregation, and we could make it smarter e.g. by listing separate POFiles instead of aggregating if there are only 2 or 3 POFiles in a given context.
