Bug Description

Binary package hint: system-config-printer

Steps to reproduce:

0. Starts Ubuntu Jaunty using Spanish language by default
1. Open system-config-printer (System->Administration->Printing)
2. Click on New->Printer
3. Drop down the "Network Printer" list

The options below the "Network Printer" category shows untranslated in my Spanish desktop, albeit they're translated in Launchpad:

  https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/jaunty/+source/system-config-printer/+pots/system-config-printer/es/+translate

and the translations are inside the system-config-printer.mo file. For example, the string "Windows Printer via SAMBA" is translated in Launchpad:

  https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/jaunty/+source/system-config-printer/+pots/system-config-printer/es/298/+translate

and the translation is inside the .mo file:

  $ strings -eS /usr/share/locale-langpack/es/LC_MESSAGES/system-config-printer.mo | grep "Windows "
  Windows Printer via SAMBA
  Impresora de Windows vía Samba

However, it shows in English, untranslated. I attach an screenshot to illustrate the problem.

This bug is rather old. Can you re-test and see if the issue is still present?

Kamus, the issue is about the strings are translated in Launchpad but
shows untranslated when they are displayed in the running application
(please read the bug report description). Can you confirm that the
strings shows translated when running system-config-printer on
Maverick?

The issue has been fixed in Maverick but not in Lucid. If someone would be willing to work on filing an SRU request for Lucid, that would be great. Thanks!
