Comment 1 for bug 788685

This is high priority for OEM group.

With this feature there is a much lower chance that customized versions of Ubuntu that OEM creates will have translation regressions in the field.

Without this feature, if we complete translations for a given package (by modifying the package itself) and then if the package is released by upstream in universe (still with incomplete translations), it will pre-empt our version and the translations will revert. There could be significant translation regressions for users.

We are requesting this feature in support Qin (Chinese Ubuntu) project (https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/desktop-o-qin-ubuntu-china).

Thanks,
Kyle
