Bug Description

I use Hebrew UI on my system.
When I launch synaptic from gnome-shell (pressing the Windows key and typing "synaptic"), it is opened with an English UI. See attached screnshot.
When I launch synaptic using "sudo synaptic" from terminal, it is opened with Hebrew UI.
Synaptic should open with Hebrew UI in both cases.

I also have the same issue, strangely only happening when started from gnome shell (starting from unity opens english UI, starting from terminal also opens english UI), synaptic opens in Hungarian even if both `locale` and `sudo locale` only mention english with UTF8, not even a word about hungarian. See the screenshot attached.
