[Bug 644736] Re: Installer does not set locale in the embedded terminal, resulting in "untranslated" strings visible to the user.

[Dmitrijs Ledkovs]

It's not that the strings are untranslated, it's just the small terminal
is not running in the user's locale. Therefore any strings outputed by
e.g. apt-get update / install are all in English instead of the user's
locale.

** Summary changed:

- Untranslatable messages in the installer
+ Installer does not set locale in the embedded terminal, resulting in "untranslated" strings visible to the user.

       Status: Confirmed => Invalid
