Some translation data cannot currently be updated via the language pack mechanism. Because these items require more disruptive integration work, they are subject to an earlier deadline. Translations which fall into this category are:

  • The Ubuntu installer (debian-installer in Rosetta)
  • Translations which don't use gettext, including:

    • debconf templates

    • desktop notifications via notification-daemon

    • Package description translations. Please by default translate in Debian, and only fill in the missing pieces in Ubuntu's DDTP

  • Translations included in the source packages
    • yelp (Ubuntu Help Center front page)
    • xdg-users-dirs
  • Ubuntu documentation (ubuntu-docs, kubuntu-docs, xubuntu-docs, edubuntu-docs)
  • (Other documentation, coming from upstream projects, not in Rosetta)
  • Strings visible in the default desktop (live CDs don't get language pack updates)
    • Default menu items
    • Panel strings
  • All menu entries in KDE applications, which does not support translation via language packs
