Bug Description

After the Recife rollout in translations, it seems that we've lost the ability to export only the translations changed in Ubuntu, as explained here:

https://help.launchpad.net/Translations/YourProject/PartialPOExport

To reproduce this, just go to the download page of an Ubuntu source package translation and see how the "Translations changed in Ubuntu" (can't remember the exact wording) option has disappeared from the drop-down menu:

https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/natty/+source/gnome-disk-utility/+pots/gnome-disk-utility/ca/+export

After chatting with Danilo, I understand that removing this feature was not intended and it's a regression.

This is not a bug in itself. That feature is still there but, in the recife spirit, will compare Ubuntu translations against the upstream translations. Without any upstream translations, the option is not available.

I've tried chatting live first, but let me add a few notes.

I, first of all, disagree. As long as we consider source package imports to contain upstream translations (and we do, or we are about to), we should be able to export "changes" only. What's else, we are also showing the "changed" column on overview pages like https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/natty/+source/gnome-disk-utility/+pots/gnome-disk-utility/.

Figuring out if there is a linked "other side" makes sense for upstream projects only, and that's how it should work. For Ubuntu, we should *always* offer the option to download only the changes.
