<p>I've built <a href="https://launchpad.net/~xiota/+archive/ubuntu/stuff-18.04/+build/22285792" rel="nofollow">1.38 ± translations</a> for 18.04 on <a href="https://launchpad.net/" rel="nofollow">launchpad.net</a>.  The process is basically...</p>
<ul>
<li>Package the source into a file with the name <code>package_version.orig.tar.xz</code></li>
<li>Create a <code>debian</code> folder with packaging information.  The easiest way to do this is to grab an <a href="https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/geany" rel="nofollow">existing version</a> and modify it.
<ul>
<li>Since you're backporting to an older distribution, you'll have to modify the dependencies list in the <code>debian/control</code> file.</li>
<li>You may need to backport dependency packages for your distribution.  (Doesn't seem to be necessary in this case.)</li>
<li>Update <code>debian/changelog</code></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Create an account and PPA to upload your package.</li>
</ul>
<p>If you don't want to use a PPA, you can build the <code>deb</code> locally with <code>dpkg-buildpackage</code>.</p>
<p>If you need more details on any of the above steps, you can search the internet.</p>
