Reproduced here.

does it show correctly in the unity places or the gnome menus? I can't confirm the issue there

[Alan Pope 🍺🐧🐱 🦄 (popey)]

I can see the icon in places, yes.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

ok, I just tried on a stock beta1 test installation and it doesn't have the issue, can you try with a guest user?

[Alan Pope 🍺🐧🐱 🦄 (popey)]

Just checked as a guest account and it happens there too.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

the issue is a en_GB translation one combined with a small bug in the gnome-desktop gettext use, it gets translations for any key in the .desktop and en_GB translated the first letter from g to G in the software name which is also the icon name

I've the same issue with my Spanish Natty. Screenshot attached.

[Ricardo Pérez López (ricardo)]

By the way, my locale is es_ES.UTF-8

Fixing the translation of "bluetooth" string here solves the issue:

Thanks, Sebastien.

Please increase the priority for fixing this. The fix is so simple, and it really gives an unprofessional impression to new Ubuntu users! Even if people don't use Bluetooth, just seeing the missing icon in the System Settings I find looks quite bad.

Updated language-packs from natty-proposed solves the issue.

[Johnny Flin (johnny1235)]

sorry, how did I fix this issue? how do I update language-packs from natty-proposed where is no update available for the language-packs?

my locale is en_GB.UTF-8.

Thank you.

[Bao Liang (timbao)]

will this fix available for other languages? and when will this fix go to natty-update? Don't want to enable natty-proposed...

[Benjamin Braatz (hepta-sean-deactivatedaccount)]

Why is the status of this bug "Fix released"?

The fix is only for the spanish translation as far as I understand it. For example, en_GB still translates "bluetooth" to "Bluetooth": https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/natty/+source/gnome-bluetooth/+pots/gnome-bluetooth2/en_GB/166/+translate

From the point of view of the translators, this is perfectly correct. "Bluetooth" is a proper name and *should* be capitalised.

Can't you patch this darn thing that uses translations for filenames?

Otherwise, I would only consider this bug fixed if there is a process in place that prevents *all* translators from translating *any* word that is used as a filename in *any* language. (Or alternatively, add copies or links of the corresponding file—the bluetooth icons in this case—named after every possible translation of the original. ...)
