Bug Description

Binary package hint: system-config-printer

The dialog displayed when you're adding a new printer shows untranslated in my Spanish desktop, albeit it's fully translated in the Launchpad template:

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

The strings which are translated but shows untranslated includes the following:

1. Describe Printer
2. Printer Name
3. Short name for this printer such as "laserjet"
4. Description (optional)
5. Human-readable description such as "HP Laserjet with Duplexer"
6. Location (optional)
7. Human-readable location such as "Lab 1"

All of the above strings are fully translated into Spanish in Launchpad since 2009:

1. https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+source/system-config-printer/+pots/system-config-printer/es/424/+translate
2. https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+source/system-config-printer/+pots/system-config-printer/es/417/+translate
3. https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+source/system-config-printer/+pots/system-config-printer/es/471/+translate
4. https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+source/system-config-printer/+pots/system-config-printer/es/407/+translate
5. https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+source/system-config-printer/+pots/system-config-printer/es/444/+translate
6. https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+source/system-config-printer/+pots/system-config-printer/es/413/+translate
7. https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/lucid/+source/system-config-printer/+pots/system-config-printer/es/445/+translate

and the translations are into the /usr/share/locale-langpack/es/LC_MESSAGES/system-config-printer.mo file:

  ricardo@kadath:~$ strings -eS /usr/share/locale-langpack/es/LC_MESSAGES/system-config-printer.mo | grep Describa
  <span weight="bold" size="larger">Describa la impresora</span>
  ricardo@kadath:~$ strings -eS system-config-printer.mo | grep legible
  Descripción legible para humanos, como «HP LaserJet con duplexor»
  Ubicación legible para humanos, como «Lab 1»

and so on.

I attach an screenshot to illustrate the problem.

This is probably a dupe of bug #557199 - let's hope that the import queue's files fix this too :)
