#14940 — Location of translations for package description

Hello,

there is a German package description
https://packages.debian.org/de/bookworm/backintime-common

this is also available in English
https://packages.debian.org/en/bookworm/backintime-common

It seems to me that the English version is extracted from the control 
file
https://salsa.debian.org/jmw/pkg-backintime/-/blob/debian/debian/control

But I'm not able to find the German (or any other translated) version in 
the source repo.

Is this done on the fly in the back somehow?

btw: I'm upstream maintainer of that package.

Hi Christian,

See https://ddtp.debian.org/ and https://wiki.debian.org/DDTP for information
on the translation infrastructure for package descriptions.

Bye,

Dear Joost,

thanks for the reply.

I understand there is a project doing this manually.

Puh... How do I say that? It is far away from being a documentation 
understandable by extern persons. I just want to understand how the 
translations are integrated in the packaging process.

I assume from the side of upstream maintainers and debian maintainers no 
actions required. Correct?

I also assume there is an automatic mechanism that the translations are 
marked as outdated when the original source (e.g. the control file on 
salsa) is modified. Correct?

I would guess so, indeed.

I would guess so, indeed.

(I am not involved in the project btw.)
