Strange, hu.po was omitted for some reason, even if it is fully translated:
https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/oneiric/+source/software-center/+pots/software-center-doc/hu/+translate?start=0&batch=10&show=untranslated&field.alternative_language=&field.alternative_language-empty-marker=1&old_show=all

I have requested an export: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/82298314/launchpad-export.tar.gz
This file contains 43 help documents.

https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/oneiric/+source/software-center/+pots/software-center-doc
lists 63 languages (I ran grep -c "+translate\"" /tmp/software-center-doc.html on the locally saved page)
of which 7 have 0 translated strings, so the export should contain 56 - that's 13 more than it actually contains.
Full translations to bs, el, hu, sl, vi are missing from the export, and these languages with more than 50% coverage too: nb, zh_HK, sk, lv, ms, lb, ro.

See also bug 723367.

Well, taking another look at that export, everything is there: http://launchpadlibrarian.net/87161656/launchpad-export.tar.gz

Only problem is that the tarball contains two directories: software-center-doc with 43 translations (those already in bzr), and po/help with 21 more translations, including all those I listed as missing in comment #3.

Thanks for this update Gabor! I merged your branch into the 5.0 branch now too and I think its well worth to be part of the next SRU :)

Hi Michael

Thanks for the merge!
When is this next SRU scheduled? For help translations to be delivered, a "full" language pack update is needed, and the next one is scheduled for the first days of January: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Translations/OneiricLanguagePackReleaseSchedule .
If we want this fix to be released with that update, a new package should hit -proposed soon, before the end of the year.
Is it possible to do this?

Hello Milo, or anyone else affected,

Accepted software-center into oneiric-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

Tested s-c 5.0.4 in oneiric-proposed, the package fixes this bug.
