Hi Release Team,

The following upstream update to gcompris has been suggested, and
after checking it seems to be to be good material, with extremely
limited-scope code-level bugfixes (which could be filtered-out if we
really want that, although I'd think it would be better to have them
in as well).

I'm thus requesting pre-approval for a 14.12 package.

Details follow:

I did a diff[1] between the 2 versions, and aside from translation
updates, the diffs are really:

* fixes in english messages and french wordlists
* hangman.py changes which can probably be trusted to be the 1st fix
  in the changelog
* tagging of some messages as translatable
* a more elaborate fix for #769339, which gives compatibility with both
  old and new versions of tuxpaint (which also at last gives a nice message
  to the user when tuxpaint is not installed)
* addition of Kannada language (included voices, which will create
  another binary package)

For an educational app, it would be great to have this mostly-message
update.

Given the freeze, I would understand if the hangman and tuxpaint
changes would not be accepted - but then, it'd be a bit of work to
just bring eveything-but-those in 14.07.  If the other updates are
accepted but not those, I would rather revert those 2 changes from
14.12 (making it a 14.12~something).
