Recovery from HDD doesn't show the correct language for zh_CN

Hello Mario, or anyone else affected,

Accepted dell-recovery into oneiric-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

Testing Mario's fix plus the updated casper:

1) Installed and used Simplified Chinese in oem-config / OOBE.

2) Rebooted and, from the grub menu, selected to perform a restore.

3) During the ubiquity phase of the installation, the text above the progress bar is now in Chinese and the slideshow is still translated in Chinese, as expected.

4) After a reboot and re-run through the oem-config portion of the restore, there is no more garbaged-up text above the progress bar during the video. It is in Simpified Chinese where applicable. The video is translated into Chinese as well.

I think between the casper fix and Mario's dell-recovery fixes, we are now in good shape on this bug.

This bug was fixed in the package dell-recovery - 1.12

---------------
dell-recovery (1.12) precise; urgency=low

  [ Mario Limonciello ]
  * Update bootloader patches to current grub2-trunk.
  * Add support to run GRUB2 binary builder out of tree via environment
    variables.
  * Add a 10 second countdown and automatic reboot at the end of stage 1.
  * Call emergency.sh as LAST item in casper.
  * If running in persistent mode, forcefully regenerate the apt-cache
    on boot.
  * Copy files using a blacklist excluding casper-rw rather than an all
    inclusive whitelist. Fixes problems with persistence and dell-recovery.
  * Update the GPT utility partition creation logic. (LP: #877858)
  * Capture the state of all packages after post install scripts to prevent
    bad interactions with remove_oem_extras after ubiquity r5804
  * Update README for more current information.
  * Don't regenerate the UUID during stage 1 anymore. Instead, pre-populate
    the disk's UUID on the kernel command line of the target install.
    Requires casper 1.290 or later to work.
  * Add some preseeded language fixes that are reactive to casper 1.289
    from precise and 1.287.1 from oneiric. (LP: #888298)
    - Don't preseed the language in a standard preseed file as it overrides
      casper's attempt at setting the language.
    - Don't let dell-bootstrap set language based on locale. Only have it
      set English if no other language has been specified yet.
  * Create a flag on the disk filesystem to indicate an install is in progress.
  * Remove the casper UUID in SUCCESS_SCRIPT as well as stage 1 of recovery.
    This will prevent the RP from booting unless the UUID is present on
    /proc/cmdline.
  * Don't include grubenv in the files that go in /factory on install media.
  * Include a grub.cfg script that will be copied into the recovery media and
    source the proper location of installs in progress.
  * Always set install_finished on completion to ensure sticks aren't booted
    again.
  * Unset install_finished when mounting the RP during OOBE.

  [ Kent Baxley ]
  * Preseed chinese installs as zh_CN.UTF-8 rather than just zh_CN. Fixes
    translation problems for chinese factory installs. (LP: #879114)

  [ Chen Hsin-Yi ]
  * Encode all strings stored in XML as UTF-8. (LP: #890113)
  * Add a unit test to test for bug 890113.

  [ Chris Townsend ]
  * Fix pyflakes error of assigned but unused variable 'e' from UTF-8 XML
    patch.

dell-recovery (1.11.2) oneiric-proposed; urgency=low

  * Backport fixes from trunk:
    - Add some preseeded language fixes that are reactive to casper 1.289
      from precise and 1.287.1 from oneiric.
    - Don't preseed the language in a standard preseed file as it overrides
