[Bug 644736] Re: Installer does not set locale in the embedded terminal, resulting in "untranslated" strings visible to the user.

 

It's not that the strings are untranslated, it's just the small terminal
is not running in the user's locale. Therefore any strings outputed by
e.g. apt-get update / install are all in English instead of the user's
locale.

** Summary changed:

- Untranslatable messages in the installer
+ Installer does not set locale in the embedded terminal, resulting in "untranslated" strings visible to the user.

** Tags added: i18n

** Changed in: ubiquity (Ubuntu Quantal)
   Importance: Undecided => Medium

** Changed in: apt (Ubuntu Quantal)
       Status: Confirmed => Invalid
