Bug Description

Impact: The translations are missing from the package tuxtype-data, affecting all international users.
Cause: Tuxtype was built for the Lucid cycle while it was still in main, so its translations were stripped to go to langpacks.
Then it was demoted to universe and never rebuilt, so its translations are missing from the current package in the repos.
Development version fix: The problem has been fixed for Maverick by just rebuilding the package. No source code changes were necessary.
Stable version patch: A simple version bump and a rebuild are needed, no other source or packaging changes are necessary.
TEST CASE: Run tuxtype, select "Options" > "Setup Language" > any language other than English. The translations aren't there so an English environment will still be shown.

A fixed package has been uploaded to https://launchpad.net/~ts.sch.gr/+archive/ppa, has been tested, and found to be working fine.
Only the version number has been changed, so no regressions are expected.

The original bug report follows:

Binary package hint: tuxtype

In package' s lucid lynx when I try to change the language to spanish, it fails.
Don't closes itself, don't report errors in terminal, but the language don't change.

It's the same problem as tuxpaint (bug #572994).
Tuxtype was compiled while it was still in main, so its translations were stripped to go to the langpacks.
Then it was demoted, but never rebuilt.
So the translations are not contained withing tuxtype-data.deb, and a simple reupload is needed for the problem to be fixed.

I'd say it's more of a launchpad problem than a tuxtype/tuxpaint problem. I.e. a dummy version bump should be done automatically every time a package is demoted from main to universe.

For anyone interested, I've uploaded a fixed version of tuxpaint in the Greek schools PPA:
https://launchpad.net/~ts.sch.gr/+archive/ppa/
You can either add the ppa to your sources, or just get the .deb from:
https://launchpad.net/~ts.sch.gr/+archive/ppa/+files/tuxtype-data_1.8.0-1ubuntu1~ppa0_all.deb

Works fine for me:

$ dpkg-query -W -f '${Version}\n' tuxtype
1.8.0-1ubuntu1
$ dpkg -L tuxtype-data | grep el/LC_MESSAGES/tuxtype.mo
/usr/share/locale/el/LC_MESSAGES/tuxtype.mo
$ tuxtype
(selecting "Options" > "Setup Language" > "Greek" ==> displays Greek interface)
