After a short investigation, I've noticed that the problem with this string is that it does not appear in the template from Rosetta [1], in fact, after downloading the apt PO file from there, the string seems to be marked as obsolete:

  #~ msgid "Reading state information"

However, on both the current .deb package (apt-0.7.6ubuntu14.1) and bazaar revisions the string appears in the apt-all.pot template, this time as translatable.

I believe this is simply an issue of Rosetta not having the current translation template, so there is not much we translators can do.

If this is not the case, please let us know how we can contribute to the fix, since this is a very visible string (it appears every time the update-manager is run) which has been untranslated since Feisty, and it would be nice to have this fixed before the LTS release.
