This is a list of packages which are considered important to be translated first if a team starts translating Ubuntu into a new language.
 
  * [[https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/dapper/+source/debian-installer/+translations|debian-install]] Ubuntu's installer. This package contains the strings of the text-interface-installer and the Ubiquity graphical installer. So these are the first strings someone will see when installing Ubuntu.

  * [[https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/dapper/+source/gdm/+translations|gdm]] The GNOME Display Manager. A login screen in the own language will make everybody happy.
  * [[https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/dapper/+source/gnome-panel/+translations|gnome-panel]] Among lesser seen strings, this package contains the strings "Applications", "Places" and "System" which are seen in the top panel.
  * [[https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/dapper/+source/gnome-session/+translations|gnome-session]] Contains the "Shutdown, Hibernate, Logout, Switch User, Suspend, Reboot" and the description of the action related to each of those strings.
