greeter is in english after a non-english installation

[Jean-Baptiste Lallement]

Oneiric Desktop 20110822

After an installation in a non-english language the greeter is not localized (but indicators are)
Not localized parts are:
- Guest Account user name
- Label of Password field
- Login button on guest account
- Invalid password error message

Most of these are from unity-greeter. Some of the strings, like the invalid password error message are marked for translation, but the langpacks that can contain the first translations are only now being generated.
The other strings are not marked for translation.

[Gabor Kelemen (kelemeng)]

Also, when you click Other..., the appearing "login:" string is from lightdm, not unity-greeter.

the issue is fixed with 0.0.3 in Oneiric

Closing LightDM component as this only relates to the Unity greeter.

[Gabor Kelemen (kelemeng)]

This is still not entirely fixed, see attached screenshot. This string comes from lightdm/src/pam-session.c (maybe it sould be better to move it to unity-greeter?), so for now, I reopen this bug there.

[Gabor Kelemen (kelemeng)]

Also, when I choose Other..., I see this string.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

The issue is still there in the current version

Using a french locale:

$ gettext -d unity-greeter "Password:"
Mot de passe :

but the unity-greeter still displays "Password:"

[Robert Ancell (robert-ancell)]

Fixed gettext initialization in unity-greeter 0.0.8

[Robert Ancell (robert-ancell)]

The only remaining issue that I know of is the PAM messages are not translated as PAM is currently run in the system locale. This is lower priority than the common messages though which should now be translated in the greeter.

[Robert Ancell (robert-ancell)]

There is an issue where the datetime indicator is corrupting the LANGUAGE environment variable, see bug 861123. This causes some translations to not be shown (but it is random).

Looks good to me, thanks!
