Translations missing due to universe demotion

Hi same problem for me.

I can see a few words in french but this applications isn't completly translated as before.

Is this in lucid?

Ubuntu changed its repositories and Edubuntu packages are no longer in
main. This means that they are no longer translated in launchpad I
think.

Thinking about this.

Ubuntu used to translate programs in Edubuntu itself, and didn't give
the translations back to tuxpaint itself.

Ubuntu has stopped translating Edubuntu programs- so are you using
tuxpaint's fr translation?

If Ubuntu will give tuxpaint its translations we will merge them but
we are short staffed. Can you provide patches?

Thanks

I have that too.

I've managed to get Tuxpaint in French this way :

1) Downloading latest fr.po on Tuxpaint website *

2) Opening it with poedit and saving it to tuxpaint.mo

3) Copying tuxpaint.mo to /usr/share/locale-langpack/fr/LC_MESSAGES/

4) Giving the appropriate rights (755) to tuxpaint.mo

* not tested but I think it would work fine with fr.mo extracted from 9.21 tar archive

tuxpaint-config was always in universe, it was never translated by Ubuntu.

It worked well compiling the .po file from the9.21 tar archive to /usr/share/locale-langpack/fr/LC_MESSAGES/

I didn't understand all about Edubuntu translations ans main depositories.

"Ubuntu has stopped translating Edubuntu programs" : does that mean a lot of educational softwares aren't translated anymore in Ubuntu ? I didn't noticed that on other softwares.

Nevertheless, what could be done in order to have that the translations back in Ubuntu repositories ?

tuxpaint-data should contain all the translations:
http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/all/tuxpaint-data/filelist

But it seems that they're stripped in Ubuntu:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/all/tuxpaint-data/filelist

Some Ubuntu core developer mentioned that "packages aren't automatically rebuilt when they're moved from main to universe. somebody probably just needs to manually reupload it"

So I guess that's all that's needed, i.e. someone to reupload tuxpaint and maybe get it to lucid-updates or lucid-proposed.

I've uploaded tuxpaint to the Greek schools PPA without any changes at all, and all the translations were correctly included.

Until it's hopefully reuploaded to lucid-updates, if anyone wants the updated tuxpaint-data deb, (s)he can get it from our PPA:
https://launchpad.net/~ts.sch.gr/+archive/ppa/+files/tuxpaint-data_0.9.21-1ubuntu2~ppa0_all.deb
(it's the same for all architectures)
