Title:
  Sudo password prompt not localizable

Status in Ubuntu Translations:
  Triaged
Status in “sudo” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  sudo features a translation template, which comprises the whole
  package, except for the password prompt, which seems to be hard-coded
  in the build script. A snippet from mkpkg:

  configure_opts="--prefix=/usr
  		--with-all-insults
  		--with-pam
  		--enable-zlib=system
  		--with-fqdn
  		--with-logging=syslog
  		--with-logfac=authpriv
  		--with-env-editor
  		--with-editor=/usr/bin/editor
  		--with-timeout=15
  		--with-password-timeout=0
  ***		--with-passprompt=[sudo] password for %p:  ***
  		--with-timedir=/var/lib/sudo
  		--disable-root-mailer
  		--disable-setresuid
  		--with-sendmail=/usr/sbin/sendmail
  		--mandir=/usr/share/man
  		--libexecdir=/usr/lib/sudo
  		--with-secure-path=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin
  		$configure_opts"
  	;;

  
  The password prompt being hard-coded means it is not included with the translation templates, therefore users will always see a non-localized password prompt.
