Bug Description
The message "dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a'" that pops up every time a user who has unknowingly interrupted dpkg tries to use apt is probably one of the most frequently asked questions in the newbie forums of non-English-
So, is there any way to translate this error message? I know apt has a Spanish version, so how hard could it be to translate this? I can offer you a more than adequate Spanish translation:
E: dpkg fue interrumpido, deberá correr 'dpkg --configure -a' manualmente para corregir el problema.
In fact, I also suggest adding sudo to the command, at least in the Ubuntu package.

Some time ago in ubuntu.es they half jokingly decided to run a poll about this. The question was "What would you do if you got the 'dpkg --configure -a' error?" A lot of people __really__ didn't know what to do in case they got this error.
I know it's not too hard to find out what the error means, but I also think that having Ubuntu (and this error in particular) localized would make life easier for a a lot of people. Googling errors only because they are in English shouldn't be the way to solve this kind of issues.
