Bug description:
  I would like to have this investigated for lucid, so just so it does
  not get forgotten I'm filing this bug.

  [note: bug rewritten a bit to concentrate on descriptions from
  repositories. mvo already fixed app-install-data in bug #456459]

  I've observed multiple times that package description translations are
  not shown, in either nowadays software-center (earlier gnome-app-
  install) or Synaptic. For example, after a fresh installation the
  translations are not there, even if the Internet connection was there
  during installation and repositories were (?) refreshed.

  I just observed (in VirtualBox, a fresh karmic installation) that
  after changing settings in Software Sources and reloading repository
  information, Synaptic still showed English descriptions. After doing
  another reload in Synaptic instead, the translations were finally
  shown - but only in Synaptic, Software Center still had old data in
  cache.

  During my Ubuntu usage, I have also sometimes noticed the descriptions
  disappearing suddenly, which might be a network problem related and
  would be nice to get fixed (don't overwrite translation data if
  complete new data was not gotten).

  For lucid it'd be nice to have if short descriptions had zero problems
  after language packs were installed, and long descriptions had zero
  problems after repository information has been refreshed once, at any
  point (eg. during installation).
