> The correct approach is to have gettext look into the langpack translations first, and then fall back to the package's translations.
No, it's not. Normal/released Ubuntu packages get their translations stripped out of the debs. But if you install a backport, third-party package, or self-built package, you want to see the translation that it ships, not the Ubuntu translations as they now apply to an older version only. Hence /usr/share/locale/ must have precedence over /usr/share /locale-langpack/. There are just a handful of packages which you need for upgrading and *installing* langpacks which have their translations built-in, like apt or language-selector. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to apt in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1637801 Title: Incorrect Russian translation of "apt list --upgradeable" results Status in Ubuntu Translations: Invalid Status in apt package in Ubuntu: Fix Committed Bug description: bor@bor-Latitude-E5450:~$ apt list --upgradeable Вывод списка… Готово build/неизвестно 20161025 all [может быть обновлён до: 20151105] In Russian this means "version 20161025 can be upgraded TO version 20151105) While original English says exactly opposite: bor@bor-Latitude-E5450:~$ LC_ALL=C LANG=C apt list --upgradeable Listing... Done build/unknown 20161025 all [upgradable from: 20151105] Literal translation (that does not require serious phrase change) would probably be "может быть обновлен с" although it sounds also artificial, as in Russian subject is package that is being updated (currently installed), not new version.
