Translations not imported from upstream

Thanks for reporting.

I've added Ubuntu translations as also affected. I'm not too familiar with how translations are imported from upstream, but I suppose they might know more. Possibly this is a bug report which should affect Launchpad itself, but let's wait to hear what the translators project has to say.

The language-packages are indeed not set up to sync with the upstream project. I am not an expert about setting these things up, but part of the cause might be, that the automatic import of the Github-Project to the "upstream"-Project here in launchpad () does not work.

I triggered this again and got the following error message:

Now I am wondering who to ask about fixing that. The Launchpad team?

Coverage of this package is very poor except for Bosnian, Swedish, Ukrainian and English.

Hm, that stack trace does seem like it might have something with to do with the issue. I've marked Launchpad as affected, so let's hear what they have to say.

Vej: out of curiosity, how can one trigger an import or find the error message in a log?

Thank you all. Possibly related bug:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-sudoku/+bug/1734545

The Launchpad developers have not commented.

My suggestion: Disable translations entirely in Launchpad and always import from upstream.

Thanks for reporting this, Ask. We spotted the problem this morning, and if you check LP now, you'll notice a significant difference.

The current source translations have been imported in launchpad now and things looks better

Thank you very much.

(It would appear that the util-linux translations have not quite made it yet:

https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/artful/+source/util-linux/+pots/util-linux/da/+details

It is still at 17% at the moment. I assume the new files are in the import queue though which tends to last a day or two, so that's probably fine - it's just that I cannot remember how to see the import queue.)

No, they have been imported. Look at bionic. :)

Btw, this is the URL to the import queue:

https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/bionic/+source/util-linux/+imports

The link, which used to be shown, is not there any longer for some reason.

Right! Excellent. Thank you again.

This bug was fixed in the package util-linux - 2.30.2-0.1ubuntu2

---------------
util-linux (2.30.2-0.1ubuntu2) bionic; urgency=medium

  * No change rebuild to try to resolve an outdated translations issue,
    the package was configured on launchpad to share its strings with an
    upstream vcs but the corresponding import is failing for some years.
    We are trying to go back to use the source package translations
    instead now (lp: #1730793)
