Translations

Translations for the Ubuntu desktop installer are managed with Flutter's tools for internationalization.

The template containing all the messages to be translated lives in lib/l10n/app_en.arb. When starting translations for a new language, that file needs to be copied to lib/l10n/app_LANGCODE.arb (e.g. lib/l10n/app_fr.arb), and messages should be translated in this new file.

When new messages are added in the source code, they also need to be added to the translation template.
