Bug Description

Binary package hint: kdebase

The german translation team has been informed by an user that the translation of the "screensaver unlock dialog" (part of kdesktop) is broken.

This does not seem to be a problem of the translation itself, Rosetta or the langpack:

1. Rosetta uses the correct template (kdesktop) including these strings
2. This template is completly translated by upstream
3. The appropiate file of the langpack (kdesktop.mo) is installed
4. In my Gentoo system this dialog is completly translated
5. Replacing Kubuntu's kdesktop.mo by Gentoo's kdesktop.mo does not change anything.

For some reason the dialog ignores the exisiting and installed translation.

Happens on my machine as well. I presume this is the same error as https://launchpad.net/bugs/78856 , because both of them are related with kdesktop incorrectly loading translations. Marking as Confirmed.

Any progress on these two bugs? This problem is the most frequent reported one to the german translation team...
