It would have been a good idea to properly document the initial #621482 bug reported over a year ago with this statement, it could have avoided some waste of time and frustration about update and new translations. Tagging them as such right now including the software-center ones I assume would “benefit” of the same care. Could you please document inside your source package, e.g. in a README.translators or README.contributors file, that patches and translations are not welcome for those native package (maybe packaging them as non native may avoid the assumption they actually are).
