It seems it still isn't (see the screenshot I posted), but there is
someone wanting to translate it nevertheless.

I'm not sure techdict is appropriate for such application specific
terms: sometimes words are used in a metaphorical sense and should be
translated independently, and I think the techdict isn't good for such
things.

As for the reason people are not using techdict anymore (even for
"conventional" terms), I don't understand either. I'll try to do
something about this.

How about translations for applications that are hosted outside
Launchpad? is there a way to "lock" or hide them so they don't get in
the way? or we really need to manually sort things?
