Bug Description

The Ubuntu changelog is in english and seems do be untranslatable.

1) Use an Ubuntu version that can be upgraded (Jaunty, Karmic, …).
2) Open "Update manager".
3) Do a distribution upgrade.
4) See the changelog in english.

I'm french (and it's the same for others languages), so the message should be in french :) .

The same for Chinese, we'd like to see it's translatable.

This seems to be a question rather than a bug, converting this to a question?

Reopening, this is not a question. The text is not translatable at all, so we need to make it translatable.

Dorian,

Thanks for reporting this bug.

In order for anyone to start working on a fix, it would be really useful if the description would be more detailed.

Do you think you could write down the steps you followed to reproduce this? Which changelog are you referring to? Which program shows this changelog? A screenshot would also be helpful.

Thanks!

David: this is about the Release notes, shown after you click the Upgrade button in update-manager, next to the "New Ubuntu release 'x.y' is available" text:

= Welcome to the Ubuntu 'Maverick Meerkat' development release =

***
This is still a ALPHA release.
Do not install it on production machines.
***

Thanks for your interest in this development release of Ubuntu.
The Ubuntu developers are moving very quickly to bring you the
absolute latest and greatest software the Open Source Community has to
offer. This development release brings you a taste of the newest features
for the next version of Ubuntu.

Thanks Gabor for the clarification.

One thing I can think of is to convert that file to a python module, assign the text to a variable and mark it for translation.

This one? I'd be surprised, maybe you were thinking of another, like bug #1094777?

I can confirm that the upgrade dialog for 12.10 to 13.04 still is fully English, and there seems to be no way to translate it. I've taken a quick look at the code, and it's not clear there has been any work to try and support localisation of the changelog. Why has this been marked as fix released?
