Hi Milo,

Having had a look at the upstream bug, here's a suggestion to move
forward:

1) Provide a patch against the upstream git repository, marking the
strings in the .policy file as translatable and making any necessary
adjustments in the build system. Here [1] [2] are a couple of similar
bugs, the patches for which can be used as a reference.

2) File a bug in the corresponding Ubuntu package (is it consolekit?)
and link it to the upstream bug.

3) If upstream is unresponsive, you can create a patch against the
Ubuntu package (based on the one created in step 1) and attach it to the
bug as a debdiff. As we are in UI freeze already, you should probably
justify how important the strings are for the developers to take the
change into consideration.

I hope this helps.

Regards,
David.
