"Suspend", "Hibernate", "Restart" and "Shut Down" options in login screen shows untranslated, albeit they're translated

[Ricardo Pérez López]

Binary package hint: gdm

The GDM menu which opens clicking on the bottom-right icon in the login screen shows untranslated options in my Spanish desktop, albeit they're translated and the translations are into the gdm.mo file.

The strings which shows untranslated are "Suspend", "Hibernate", "Restart" and "Shut Down". All of these strings are translated in Karmic:

https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/karmic/+source/gdm/+pots/gdm/es/133/+translate
https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/karmic/+source/gdm/+pots/gdm/es/129/+translate
https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/karmic/+source/gdm/+pots/gdm/es/131/+translate
https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/karmic/+source/gdm/+pots/gdm/es/132/+translate

And the translations are into the /usr/share/locale-langpack/es/LC_MESSAGES/gdm.mo file:

$ strings -eS /usr/share/locale-langpack/es/LC_MESSAGES/gdm.mo | grep "Suspender\|Hibernar\|Reiniciar\|Apagar"
Hibernar
Reiniciar
Apagar
Suspender

So the problem seems to be in the gdm application itself.

They're all very visible strings which degrades the user experience when they shows untranslated.

Already translated - no action required for translations
