Due to the way PolicyKit works, not all the translations can be done in the client tools. The authentication dialogs come from the daemon and thus don’t get translated by the GNOME translation team. The GNOME guys are rocking doing the client stuff, but the daemon remains untranslated.
If you have a spare few minutes (only 88 short strings), please send me a .po file from this pot file. You can see what po files already exist in gitweb. I really appreciate it, thanks.
Richard.

Wouldn’t it be a lot easier to also include the policy file in gnome-packagekit and the manually sync the translations to the PackageKit tarball? I’m pretty sure you can have separate po/ directories – for buildsys stuff, look at the weather applet and/or libgweather for Locations.xml.
AS a NORMAL user, how do i send/uplaod a translated po file to you?
Please email me an url or email address where you want receive a hungarian translation. hrgyster WORM GMail POINT com
I could translate your .pot file to italian. Are you interested in? If yes, give me an address where you want receive this file
Launchpad.net could help you have lots of translations fast
No, it’s not Ubuntu specific.
Richard,
I’m sure the Fedora translation community would love to contribute to PackageKit, so you might want to allow them to use Transifex to send translations directly to your repo.

Contrary to Launchpad, you don’t need to copy your files downstream: commits from the downstream community are sent directly to the upstream repo. Oh, and it’s open source.
What about http://translationproject.org/html/welcome.html ?
Launchpad doesn’t work well with upstream. And it doesn’t merge the official translations also… we have fixed some strings a couple of years ago in l10n.gnome and ubuntu still doesn’t take them…
Please send translations to richard_at_hughsie_dot_com – thanks!
>include the policy file in gnome-packagekit
Yes, this is a good idea. I’ll see how feasable it is to keep the two in sync.
>Launchpad.net could help
It’s just not upstream, sorry. It adds another layer above the intl team and just doesn’t work, sorry.
>use Transifex to send translations directly to your repo
Yes, I’m thinking about this. I want to be careful not to tie things exclusively into a Red Hat / Fedora system, but it certainly looks more “upstream” than Launchpad.
I just hope you will consider tp.o once you make a -rc or something… it really works.
I’ve applied for transiflex to evaulate it’s use. It certainly looks cool.
