No localization on Hoary Array 3.5 CD

[Tim Hull]

Hi,
I've been testing the Hoary Array 3.5 live CD, and decided to try selecting
Spanish on boot because I'm learning Spanish. During the debian-installer
bootup process, most of the system is localized (although I saw a few messages
in English,
like "Configuring graphics hardware", "preparing for live session",
"reconfiguring preinstalled packages"). However, the installer didn't
successfully set up the live system to run in Spanish as I selected - all bootup
messages and all of GNOME was in English, and the only thing changed was the
keyboard layout. This should either be fixed or language selection should be
disabled on the live cd.

This was due to a slip-up in the last-but-one localechooser upload, and should
be fixed in current dailies.

Most of the English-only messages are specific to the live CD, and simply
haven't been translated yet. The code is still actively under development, as
well, so it probably isn't a good idea to translate them yet.

This is confirmed fixed in the current daily builds.
