Version: 2.1.33
Severity: serious
Justification: localization is a release target

Hello,

I am using an Etch system with GNOME and I have seen that the Debian
menu is not localized in Romanian, although a translation exists.

I am also using GNOME in Etch on another system which at the moment
shows the Debian menu localized, but I remember I've seen it "slip"
before.

I tried running update-menus both as root and as a regular user, but the
menu wasn't updated (well, the translation didn't appear).

$ LANG=C apt-cache policy metacity
metacity:
  Installed: 1:2.14.5-2
  Candidate: 1:2.14.5-2
  Version table:
 *** 1:2.14.5-2 0
        900 http://localmirror etch/main Packages
        -10 http://localmirror sid/main Packages
        900 http://ftp.ro.debian.org etch/main Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

(The localmirror is a clean Debian mirror with nothing else)


So the problem is that the menu does not seem to be respecting the
locale selected via the LANG environment variable.

Note that the whole system is localized in Romanian:
$ cat /etc/default/locale
LANG="ro_RO.UTF-8"
