-Jitsi has [https://jitsi.org/Documentation/HowToTranslateSIPCommunicator a funny thing] about using ' in strings which have placeholders. Very annoying if your language uses a lot of them. The simplest solution is to grab your po file and run the following script in the terminal of a Linux machine. It turns all single ' into '' which solves the problem:

 You can get the po files and translate offline, the put them online again. Common issues:
-* An uploaded po does not go live immediately, even if you have rights as a locale admin. Sucks, I know. To check the queue for a specific module, modify the bit in bold in this URL (because there's no link to the queue '''either'''): ''translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/oneiric/+source/'''empathy'''/+imports'' All in all, allow 24-48 hours before it will show.

 # There are many dead projects which should not be on Launchpad at all, like Firefox. Only about 5% are actually specifically for Ubuntu.
-Soooo... it's save to translate the main Ubuntu parts on Launchpad (that's the official localization site for Ubuntu). That's basically anything on the first page of the modules. Anything else, best ask the Ubuntu mailing list. I know it sucks. If you do translate stuff like GIMP on Launchpad, download the file and make sure it goes to the main GIMP projects. When in doubt, ask the list. I think Launchpad had really big plans which didn't work out.

 * '''Plural strings''': some plural strings that have placeholders that use '''<nowiki>%&amp;#x27;d</nowiki>''' as a placeholder throw an error; use '''%<nowiki>'</nowiki>d''' instead, that should solve the problem.
 * '''Placeholder order''': if you get two '''%s''' or '''%d''' placeholders in a string and you have to change the order because of the syntax of your language, change '''%s %s''' to '''%2s %1s''' (don't use '''%$2s %$1s''' as in some other localiation projects, or Launchpad will throw a stupid ''msgstr is not a valid Python format string, unlike msgid. Reason: In the directive number 1, the character $ is not a valid conversion specifier.'' error.

 The yes/no stuff just looks confusing. The English is '''^[yY].*''' which means that if someone types '''y''' or '''Y''' on their keyboard, it will be interpreted as a Yes response. You can add to that, so for Gaelic we changed this to ''' ^[tTyY].*''' (for ''Tha'').
