Bug Description
During the Lucid cycle ekiga was demoted from main to universe. In doing so, translations were lost, as they were stripped from the package, but they were not shipped in language packs.
The impact to users is obvious: although there are upstream translations, ekiga remains in English, making it only usable by English speakers.
The ekiga package in Lucid (3.2.6-1ubuntu1) simply needs to be rebuilt so that translations are not stripped.
This problem is no longer an issue in the development branch (3.2.7-2ubuntu1), where the package has been rebuilt being part of universe and upstream translations are shipped normally as part of the package.
TEST CASE:
1. In Ubuntu 10.04 with a non-English locale, go to Applications > Software Center
2. Type 'ekiga' in the search box
3. Choose the ekiga package and install it
4. After installation, go to Applications > Internet > Ekiga Software Phone
5. Notice the ekiga UI being in English
No regressions are foreseen, as the fix simply involves rebuilding the package.

There are no "ekiga.mo" file in "/usr/share/ locale- langpack/ xx_XX/LC_ MESSAGES" . If you compile *.po file to ekiga.mo file and then copy it to your system then Ekiga will be localized.
