Hi! I want to speed up CiviCRM localization to Ukraine. An have question: Why Ukrainian localization files which exist on github  - https://github.com/civicrm/l10n/tree/master/po/uk did not included in http://sourceforge.net/projects/civicrm/files/civicrm-stable/4.5.4/civicrm-4.5.4-l10n.tar.gz ?
What is criterion (may be translated words %) to be included in release?
Thanks!

Welcome to CiviCRM :-)

Languages that reach 20% completion are added to civicrm-l10n.tar.gz. However, it's not automatic, so we encourage translators to post here to request it. This was very badly documented (my bad), so I updated the wiki page here: http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/Resources+for+Translators

I also did a few updates to the i18n administrator guide: http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/i18n+Administrator's+Guide

Since the Ukrainian translation is at 40%, I have added it to the languages that will be distributed in the next release: https://github.com/civicrm/l10n/commit/11daf2971f55e1205413be65986e2674ee1d803f

(I'm not sure why it wasn't added earlier, may have been a mistake?)

I also renamed in github the 'uk' directory to 'uk_UA'. It should not change much in practice, but it's more clear for the release scripts.

Meanwhile, you can download a daily updated civicrm.mo for uk_UA at:
https://download.civicrm.org/civicrm-l10n-core/mo/uk_UA/civicrm.mo

To regenerate the mysql_data.uk_UA.mysql, it is a bit more complicated. You will need to use a development environment for CiviCRM, using the instructions from this guide: http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/GitHub+for+CiviCRM

In short: you need to checkout the code from github (using "git clone" or "gitify" -- if using 'gitify', I think there is an option for i18n/l10n). Once you have the code, you need to run "gencode" (cd xml; php ./Gencode.php).

If it can help for initial testing until the next CiviCRM release, I generated the files for CiviCRM 4.5:
