Bug Description
Binary package hint: freespeak
Installed freespeak on Ubuntu Karmic 9.10
Launched it and chose Google as the translator for a new Text translation.
FreeSpeak fetches the list of languages available, but they are displayed in another language than my locale (en_GB) - see attached screenshot.
The same issue does not apply with the Yahoo translation service - the list of language names is shown in English which is correct for my system.
andyp@acheron:~$ echo $LANG
en_GB.UTF-8
andyp@acheron:~$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 9.10

Oh that's weird. You're seeing languages in Italian. If your browser is configured to use Italian then that's the problem. If you're in Italy, then google might guess the language from your geo location.
In either ways, this could be forced when requesting languages.
