[Bug 870696] Re: Oneiric ubiquity has translations loading problem, and other l10n problems met after installation

[Cheng-Chia Tseng]

** Description changed:

- Some strings are has translated before the non-langpack deadline 9/29,
- but still not loaded at pre-release installation.
+ Some strings has been translated, but still not loaded at installation
+ process if you select "中文 (繁體)" as your language before going to the
+ installer.
  
  For example, in the Chinese (Traditional) language installation, "has at
  least {SIZE} available drive space", the whole content in In
  "Installation type" section, and "Erase disk and install Ubuntu" are not
  showed in translated ones.
  
- Other strings which translated after in front strings but before the
- deadline is showed in translated forms. For example, "安裝這個軟體 (Install
- this third-party software)" is translated after those strings.
- 
  See attachments to know further about the situation.
  
- I think that the whole content in In "Installation type" section not
- showing in translated ones will put Chinese (Traditional) users in a
- maze. It should be critical enough to fix before 11.10 release.
+ After insatallation, major l10n problems met:
+ 1. Chinese characters are not showed properly in some programs, for example, date and time indicater:
+ http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6040/6250043183_0ed34cc576.jpg
+ 
+ 2. The string of authentication from jockey shows as "[Invalid UTF-8]"

+ 
+ 3. Sans font uses WenQuanYi Zen Hei instead of WenQuanYi Micro Hei which
+ should be the first selected font via /etc/fonts/conf.d/69-language-
+ selector-zh-tw.conf . This file is not available in the folder.
