I would like to know if it is currently or will be possible to translate the Ubuntu One web UI, because I know people, and I'm sure there are lot of them, who don't understand any English words, and so don't use it. I really that think it is very important to make it translatable, to have it used by the most people possible.

Not an exact dupe as the U1 web UI may not follow the traditional translations paths. IMO this question should stay open until translations are possible. – Takkat Oct 17 '12 at 21:42

At the moment, you can't translate the web ui. There's 2 reasons for this:
- There's a lot of actual technical work that needs to be done, and it hasn't been a priority so far
- Since we sell plans, the translations are a sensitive issue since it can lead to fraud. We would need some oversight over the translations, and we don't have the resources to do this for many languages
I do understand, though, the importance of internationalisation, and it comes up frequently in our discussions so I'm sure we'll eventually manage to carve out the time and budget to kick it off.

Do you still have no plans for that (I know it's difficult, but lot of people would like that I'm sure) ? – winniemiel05 Sep 19 '11 at 20:46

Yeah, unfortunately there are still no plans to translate the website. – Martin Albisetti Sep 23 '11 at 15:55
