The application name shows untranslated in the "Create account" dialog

[Ricardo Pérez López]

The application name shows untranslated in the "Create account" dialog. For example, it shows "Crear una cuenta Ubuntu Software Center" (mixing English and Spanish), instead of "Crear una cuenta Centro de software de Ubuntu".

I attach an screenshot to illustrate the problem.

Hola Ricardo,

Thanks for your report. The SSO client uses the application name as a key to handle the SSO tokens, so, at least for this cycle, we need that app name not to change. Also, app names generally are not translated (for instance, Ubuntu One will not be Ubuntu Uno).

To fix this, we should re-design the SSO dbus service API to also receive an app-id, use that to build the keyring key and then accept any app name as display app name (then the app name could be translated by the caller and send that).

Alecu, what do you think?

Hi, Naty, and thank you very much. That could be great. There're many apps
with a translated name, and showing it untranslated in Single Sign On leads
to an inconsistent behavior. Hope this could be done ;).
