</div>All the translations in gnome-packagekit are done by the GNOME<br>
translation teams. Why?<br>
<br>
* They are the best translation teams in open source<br>
* I trust them with security sensitive dialogs<br>
* The teams verify each others work, and the translations are very high<br>
quality with very few errors<br>
<br>
I don't want to use launchpad as:<br>
<br>
* It's not an upstream solution<br>
* When working on gnome-power-manager none of the launchpad translations<br>
were sent upstream, nor did they work with the GNOME translation teams<br>
* I don't want to use bzr<br>
<br>
The only slight sub-optimal process for me is that gnome uses svn, and I<br>
use git, but I mostly manage to keep them in sync. When GNOME switches<br>
to Transifex all my dreams will be answered.<br>
<br>
I work at Red Hat, and Red Hat pays me to work on PackageKit (well, some<br>
of my time at least) but I didn't want to host the website on their<br>
servers even though they offered. I know it's all marketing, but being<br>
associated with a "downstream" distro is a very bad thing for a 100%<br>
"upstream" project like PackageKit.<br>
<br>
Sorry to be blunt.<br>
