Bug Description

Binary package hint: kdebase

This report is not about a portion of Kubuntu/KDE that has not been translated by the translation team. It's about a DISPLAY problem that I observe with my laptops running Kubuntu Edgy. Some of these laptops are set to use French Canadian and others set to use Spanish. On all these systems, I can observe that some particular and rare parts of KDE menus or dialogs are still displayed in English.

Up to now, I can point to the following menus and dialogs:
- contextual menu for an icon on the desktop, for the commands copy, cut, delete;
 - name of de devices under "save as" or "open" dialog box;
 - dialog box for unlocking a session or swithing to an other user, that appears once a session has been locked and someone touches the sreen or mouse.

I did check and can confirm, as an exemple, that the dialog box for unlocking a session or swithing to an other user, that appears once a session has been locked and someone touches the sreen or mouse, is completely (100%) translated in French. See: https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/edgy/+source/kdebase/+pots/kdesktop/fr/+translate

However, even if the translation is completed, the dialog box still appears in English in Kubuntu Edgy.

Other problematic portions are so obvious (eg. "copy", "cut", "delete" terms for KDE desktop icons contextual menus) that it is quite sure that they also have been translated, but still, they are not correctly displayed.

This report is the second one I made. The first one (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/kdebase/+bug/78787) has been rejected, based on the wrong perception that I was reporting a missing translation problem, which is not the case. Again, this report is about a display problem that seems to affect only Kubuntu Edgy. Kubuntu Dapper was (and it's still) working fine for that mather.

With Feisty, things appear to be a lot better as far as I'm concern. Up to now, the only part that is not displayed correctly in the locale language, (French or Spanish) is the name of devices under "save as" or "open" dialog boxes.

Closing, since Edgy is no longer supported and the bug was fixed in a newer version of Ubuntu.
