translations are not bundled or used on osx

[Mike McCracken]

We are currently not using the gettext translations on osx.

They are not included in the app bundle, and there's no code to get the locale or point gettext at the right files.

How to get the current preferred language from os x:
http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/MacOSX/Conceptual/BPInternational/Articles/ChoosingLocalizations.html

this is easy with pyobjc:

import gettext
from Cocoa import NSUserDefaults

su = NSUserDefaults.standardUserDefaults()
langs = su['AppleLanguages']
import os
path = os.path.abspath('build/mo') # or .app/Contents/Resources/translations/
l1 = gettext.translation('ubuntuone-control-panel', path, languages=langs)
l1.install()
print _("This device")
