Bug Description

The UI is in English and not localized as the rest (here in german).
So it is hard to understand for users without Englisch language capabilities.

The localization is missing in evolution-common.
e.g. the file /usr/share/locale/de/LC_MESSAGES/evolution-3.18.mo

The debian version in stretch contain this file.
Comparing the file size of the packages between debian and ubuntu show also that a huge part of files are missing.

The version released to xenial-proposed is fixing the issue

evolution (3.18.5.2-0ubuntu3) xenial; urgency=medium

  * debian/control:
    - remove the X-Ubuntu-Use-Langpack line rather than commenting it
      due pkgstriptranslations not understanding the # (being fixed,
      but meanwhile let's get that SRU working)
