It's the same problem as tuxpaint (bug #572994).
Tuxtype was compiled while it was still in main, so its translations were stripped to go to the langpacks.
Then it was demoted, but never rebuilt.
So the translations are not contained withing tuxtype-data.deb, and a simple reupload is needed for the problem to be fixed.

I'd say it's more of a launchpad problem than a tuxtype/tuxpaint problem. I.e. a dummy version bump should be done automatically every time a package is demoted from main to universe.

For anyone interested, I've uploaded a fixed version of tuxpaint in the Greek schools PPA:

You can either add the ppa to your sources, or just get the .deb from:
