Comment 0 for bug 1000117

While upstream provides us with plenty of complete translations for gnome-color-manager, in Ubuntu, those translations cannot be found due to absent translation templates.

Odds are, .mo files for a scale of languages can be found on the system, yet none of them contain localised strings:
