Translation home stretch for Ubuntu 22.04 LTS

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson]

Hello translators,

Our next LTS, Ubuntu 22.04, will be released very soon. Since this time 
of the cycle is optimal — we are well beyond both UserInterfaceFreeze[1] 
and DocumentationStringFreeze[2] — to provide translations via 
Launchpad, I wanted to post this heads-up.

Two deadlines apply:

1. NonLanguagePackTranslationDeadline[3]: April 7

Some packages, for which the translations are not dealt with via the 
language packs, need special translation updates via package uploads. 
Examples here are ubiquity, ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu (multiple 
translation templates), and ubuntu-docs[4].

2. LanguagePackTranslationDeadline[5]: April 14

This is the same date as Final Freeze. Translations added to most 
packages in Ubuntu's "main" until this date will be available to the 
users on the release day (April 21).
