Bug Description

When clicking on the Applications icon in Unity, all application names shown are in English.

All these names should be displayed in the user's preferred language from the available translations from the .desktop files.

I'm marking this as Critical from the translations side, as it prevents non-English speakers know what applications shown there actually do, apart from giving an overall not too good impression of the system (half English, half native language).

When I manually install a Danish locale for trunk u-p-a I get danish app names. So I am pretty confident this issue should be nailed by now. If it doesn't work it's most likely a packaging issue.

I've just tested it here with unity 0.2.36-0ubuntu1 and it is still not fixed for me: all application names are still in English.

Please let me know if I should reopen the bug.

Most odd - I would guess it's some sort of packaging issue... At least
the normal ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr && make && sudo make install;
dance works for me if I set LANG=da_DK.utf-8 when running
unity-applications-daemon.

I'll talk to didrocks/seb128 about this today...
