Serpentine upstream has been unresponsive and inactive for more than a year. After several attempts of contacting them, I decided to send the translation downstream at least to Ubuntu and Debian. > Regardless, can you tell me if it is sufficient to drop the right .po > file into the source directory?

The current report and the Ubuntu one refer to the Catalan translation only, but it also affects other languages' translations, which were also added when fixing the Ubuntu report. I'd be happy to have the Catalan PO file included (and yes, I msgmerge'd it so it can simply be dropped into the po directory), but the correct way to fix it would probably be to add all the missing languages. An overview of all translations, including those which were not commited upstream before becoming inactive can be seen here [2], and they all can be downloaded from here [3]. Since they might have to be msgmerge'd with the debian template, I believe the best thing would be to ask translators on the debian-i18n list to do this. 3) l10n-related changes to debian/rules Please let me know if you need more information.
