Why do you have two projects for the Mon translators team? The ubuntu-l10n-mnw one has the right name, and should be the one kept. Having both that and mon-translation may cause confusion, so the latter should preferably be deleted IMO.

Thank for kindly information and if that cause confusion will not use the mon-translation and used that https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-l10n-mnw for our mnw_MM translation.

I've updated https://translations.launchpad.net/+languages/mnw with the plural forms information you gave, and appointed https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-l10n-mnw as the translation team for Mon in Ubuntu.

@talachan: I see that you have started the translation work. That's great.

However, it's important to understand that Ubuntu is a distribution, i.e. most of the software origin from somewhere else such as GNOME, Debian, freedesktop.org, etc. aka "upstream". Even if it's possible to translate such software via the Launchpad interface, it's not optimal, since then the translations don't benefit non-Ubuntu users of that software. So basically you'd better translate upstream as far as possible.

A few weeks ago I posted this message to the ubuntu-translators mailing list (about another language) with a few hints about where to translate what:

But this is not the right place to hold this discussion. Please subscribe to the ubuntu-translators mailing list, if you haven't already, and let's talk more on that list.
