The localized application name in MENU is not localized for some reason

[Kevin Huang]

Steps:
1. Fresh installed Lucid LTS Beta in English.
2. Enable Language support in "Traditional Chinese"
3. Reboot
4. Find the all application names in top menu are still in English. Please see the attachment.
5. Run Update Manager again
6. Reboot
7. Most application names in top menu are localized.

Ubuntu might be confused when they first time enable language support in local language.

This might be related to bug 527623 and bug 441321, assigning it to the Traditional Chinese team to see if they can confirm it

[Walter Cheuk (wwycheuk)]

Yes, I can confirm this.

I saw this happens in Thai and in Tradition Chinese. It is generic issue.

2. reboot
3. most application name in the top menu is in Simplified Chinese. GREAT
4. enable Traditional Chinese.

Kevin, could you please paste the output of issuing the 'locale' command on the terminal?

[Kevin Huang (wasikevin)]

oops, too late. I just ran "update manager". After that, the menu is back to normal. Let me see how I can replicate the issue now.

Reproduced steps from Traditional Chinese to Korean.

1. enable Korean from language support.
2. reboot
3. The first level of menu is in Korean, but the actual application name is in Traditional Chinese.
4. run locale in terminal. screen attached.

one more notes: in the attached screen shot, several menu items are mixed in Korean and Traditional Chinese. ex: personal file sharing, windows, admin-USB startup creator, admin-login screen, admin-disk utility, admin-log file viewer, admin-computer janitor....

I could reproduce this installing in English and then changing the language to Traditional Chinese. This is due to some issues in the interaction between gdm and language-selector mentioned in bug 407300. I've opened a separate bug for the general issue, and made this one a duplicate.

Thanks for testing translations!
