[Bug 1763471] Re: dh_translations should handle AppStream metadata also

[Jeremy Bicha]

This gets a bit complicated.

I think the strings for the packages and descriptions in GNOME Software
comes from the DEP-11 metadata you see when you run sudo apt update.

That metadata is generated from the packages that have been uploaded to
Ubuntu. As far as I know, you can't currently test metadata updates with
a PPA.

Title:
  dh_translations should handle AppStream metadata also

Status in pkgbinarymangler package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I had to add AppStream metadata to software-properties and update-
  manager so that we could mark these two packages as unremovable in the
  Ubuntu/GNOME Software app.

  AppStream metadata is translatable but I suspect that we don't really
  have a system for the Launchpad translations to be made available to
  Ubuntu users.

  The metadata are .xml files stored in /usr/share/metainfo/ (or the
  legacy /usr/share/appdata/ )
