Sometimes I get an errormessage that I want to ask about here, but the errormessages are in my locale language. Often this are not really reproducable, so that I cant switch to english and reproduce...
So how do I get the english version of that errormessage to ask a question about that problem here or can find answers?
What I sometimes do is just paste the error-message in google + use the search term "translate launchpad" or "translations launchpad".
Dutch example: "Weet u zeker dat u alle programma's wilt afsluiten en de computer wilt herstarten?"
Then Google: "Weet u zeker dat u alle programma's wilt afsluiten en de computer wilt herstarten? translate launchpad"
Choose a page (this is sometimes a bit tricky), and with a bit of luck you get a page that looks like this:
Hope this helps.
Note that this only works for programs that use launchpad for translations. But most Ubuntu programs do, so it's worth trying.
