Public bug reported:

Ubuntu 7.04 (23.03.07)

gnome-keyboard-properties cannot be localized. If you look for strings
that exist there, you will find them in the xkeyboard-config
localization package. The problem is, gnome-keyboard-properties don't
take localization from that package.

We (Czech) have fully localized xkeyboard-config package, but gnome-
keyboard-properties are showing mainly in english.

I have figured out, that gnome-keyboard-properties takes its localization from files
/usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/xorg.xml
/usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/base.xml
/usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/xfree86.xml
(not sure which one of them)

But those xml files cannot be localized (at least in Rosseta)! And I
wouldn't understand purpose of xkeyboard-config package though.

Please either fix gnome-keyboard-properties to look for localization
into xkeyboard-config package or give some possibility to translate
those xml files in Rosseta. I suppose the first option is right.
