This page discuss the order in which templates are displayed in the list of Ubuntu templates .

https://translations.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/karmic/+lang/en_GB

Priority policy

This is an ordered list: lower numbers in the list have a higher priority.

The rationale for each category can also be found on this page.

1. Templates included only on the Live-CD (bootloader , installer) > 1000

2. Ubuntu/Kubuntu specific templates 900 - 999
3. Templates changed in Ubuntu/Kubuntu 800 - 899
4. Templates with a high user visiblity and installed by default (like firefox, nautilus, empathy, dolphin) 700 - 799
5. Ubuntu-docs Kbuntu-docs Xbuntu-docs Edubuntu-docs .. other docs 600 - 699
6. All other library templates 500 -599
7. All other GUI templates 400 - 499

8. All other text mode apps templates < 399

LiveCD templates

Rationale: They have a shorter deadline and also are one of the first apps user gets in contact with.

• debian-installer debian-installer-help ubiquity stuff

• gfxboot-theme-ubuntu

Ubuntu specific packages

Rationale: Most of those packages don't have upstream translations. Also being Ubuntu specific means there are no other translations projects working on them.

• Ubuntu start page

• apport

• app-install-data-ubuntu

• apturl

• bluez-gnome //not specific, just important

• checkbox

• command-not-found

• computer-janitor

• evolution-indicator

• example-content

• kubuntu-docs

• xubuntu-default-settings - default launchers & Applications menu strings in Xubuntu - highly visible!

Shared packages containing Ubuntu changes

Rationale: Some text in those packages are Ubuntu specific so they can not be translated upstream. This is why we should list them before any other packages with upstream translations.

• debian-installer

• yelp

• gnome-panel

• fast-user-switch-applet

• totem

• notification-daemon

Templates with a high user visiblity

Rationale: These apps are very important to average users and should be amoung the ones used 90% of the time.

• firefox xulrunner
• GNOME: gtk nautilus gnome-panel
• KDE: qt dolphin

• FreeDesktop.org: xdg-user-dirs xdg-user-dirs-gtk
