Bug Description
Software Center should indicate whether software is translated for example by including a small flag icon. This way non-English-
http://
See also bug 706571.
Some use cases this would fix:
a) non-english user clicks on a program name to see more info, sees
the description in English and assumes the program is not translated
and therefore doesn't install it, even though it might be translated
into his native tongue.
b) non-english user finds a program with a translated description,
installs it only to find out the program itself is not translated and
is therefore no use to him/her.
c) user wants to install a music player in his native language. When
searching for "music player" in the software center 10 hits appear but
the user cannot filter the programs translated into his native tongue
and therefore has to use trial and error.
d) a one line description (po-app-install data) is translated, but
description (ddtp-ubuntu) is not or vice versa. User is just confused.
