Comment 0 for bug 381041

For some comboboxes in gtk apps, the combox items show untranslated, even thought their msgids are translated in the corresponding po files. I have seen this issue in nautilus preferences and in gnome-terminal preferences dialogs. I have checked that the msgs are translated by looking at the appropriate po files in the source package of language-pack-gnome-el-base (1:9.04+20090413) jaunty.

This problem seems to affect Jaunty only, as in Intrepid the combox items appear translated.

An example:

$ grep -B 6 -A 6 "Escape sequence" language-pack-gnome-el-base-9.04+20090413/data/el/LC_MESSAGES/gnome-terminal.po

#: ../src/profile-preferences.glade.h:9
msgid ""
"Automatic\n"
"Control-H\n"
"ASCII DEL\n"
"Escape sequence"
msgstr ""
"Αυτόματη\n"
"Control-H\n"
"ASCII DEL\n"
"Ακολουθία διαφυγής"

From the previous you can see that "Escape sequence" is translated in Greek as "Ακολουθία διαφυγής". But in the attached screen you can see that the translation is not being used.
