Comment 1 for bug 200989

With version 0.44 of moblin-applets installed I do the following:
Install language-selector with apt-get
Run gnome-language-selector from the command line and pop up the GUI
Select the Chinese(China) checkbox and click Apply (here the language pack is installed automatically by language-selector)
After the lang pack is installed, I find Chinese(China) in the Default Language combo box and select it, then click OK
Restart the samsung

After the samsung reboots I go to the settings area and I see Chinese characters in some of the applet icons and some of the strings in the dialog GUIs. Therefore it seems to work fine here. NOTE: not everything is currently translated because we (i.e. the moblin team) are only responsible for *internationalization*, which means that we're just enabling the translation ability of the tools. The ubuntu team is responsible for *localization* which is the actual translation of the strings into the various language sets. Moblin Applets carried some of the translated strings over from gnome-control-center, which is a bonus, not a requirement. Many of the strings will be untranslated until localization has been applied.

I've attached a screenshot of the settings area of the desktop that I see here on my samsung.
