Looks like this is a regression.

@shijing
Please verify with Ubuntu 14.10 daily.

ubuntu 1410 64bit ，all the "keyboard layout" are not loacized.

我分别安装了1404和1410的ubiquity,调试发现键盘布局显示都跟/var/lib/dpkg/info/keyboard-configuration.config这个配置文件的内容有关,在1404中,这个文件对应的语言都有其对应的语种翻译文字,而在1410里面,则没有对应的语种翻译,全是对应的英文.

@shijing
Does this bug still exist in 14.10?

Still exists.

translation #9 to english:

keyboard layouts shown are related to /var/lib/dpkg/info/keyboard-configuration.config, and localized strings are stored in this file. In 14.10, everything in the file is English, no strings have been localized.

Unlike the trusty package, DEBIAN/config in the utopic package lacks all the translated strings.

I rebuilt lp:ubuntu/console-setup in a vivid chroot, and found that the DEBIAN/config file is properly localized. Perhaps there's something wrong during the package build of the utopic package.

For reference, I am attaching the DEBIAN/config files of the utopic package and the package I built.

I use pbuilder to build in a utopic chroot, find that DEBIAN/config *is* translated, this is different from the package in our utopic archive.

I also tested to build console-setup 1.70ubuntu9 in a PPA with the recipe [1] for Trusty, Utopic and Vivid, and the DEBIAN/config files of these packages are *NOT* translated.

Can you please elaborate?

I'm downloading console-setup from https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/console-setup/1.70ubuntu9/+build/6047796 which is the current version published in the archive, and DEBIAN/templates appear to be translated to me correctly. Rebuilding the package locally here results the same result.

Can you advise which locale are you running installer and which strings / template name appear to not be translated? Is there a translation available of the untranslated template?

Translated keyboard names appear to have been explicitely disabled in ubiquity:

Due to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1182784

Which appears to have regressed the installer https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1373033

I'll would like Jonathan Riddell and Scott Kitterman to comment.

xnox, the problem is the translation of keyboard model names, not debconf templates.

I checked by extracting the debian package with ar and then untar control.tar.gz.

These are snippets of diff'ing the "config" files of trusty and utopic packages:

-zh_CN*model*acer_c300*宏碁 C300
-zh_CN*model*acer_ferrari4k*宏碁法拉利 4000
-zh_CN*model*acer_laptop*宏碁笔记本电脑
+zh_CN*model*acer_c300*Acer C300
+zh_CN*model*acer_ferrari4k*Acer Ferrari 4000
+zh_CN*model*acer_laptop*Acer Laptop

-zh_CN*layout*af*阿富汗
-zh_CN*layout*al*阿尔巴尼亚
-zh_CN*layout*am*亚美尼亚语
-zh_CN*layout*ara*阿拉伯语
-zh_CN*layout*at*德语(奥地利)
-zh_CN*layout*az*阿塞拜疆语
-zh_CN*layout*ba*波斯尼亚语
+zh_CN*layout*af*Afghani
+zh_CN*layout*al*Albanian
+zh_CN*layout*am*Armenian
+zh_CN*layout*ara*Arabic

-zh_CN*variant*be**比利时语
+zh_CN*variant*be**Belgian

I removed using the translated names for keyboard layouts from the Qt frontend as it was causing crashes. The GTK frontend has never translated them.

Patches to add this feature in would be welcome but it needs to be well tested to make sure none of the crashes come back.

I see. Can you please check the
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/console-setup/1.70ubuntu10 build?

They should be translated now at the package .deb / .udeb level now.

Awesome, 1.70ubuntu10 is translated.

This problem has been fixed in the latest ISO of Ubuntu Kylin, so I mark it as released.
