[Bug 381041] [NEW] Translations of combobox items in GNOME are not being used

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Thanos Lefteris (alefteris):

For some comboboxes in gtk apps, the combox items show untranslated,
even thought their msgids are translated in the corresponding po files.
I have seen this issue in nautilus preferences and in gnome-terminal
preferences dialogs. I have checked that the msgs are translated by
looking at the appropriate po files in the source package of language-
pack-gnome-el-base (1:9.04+20090413) jaunty.

This problem seems to affect Jaunty only, as in Intrepid the combox
items appear translated.

An example:

$ grep -B 6 -A 6 "Escape sequence" language-pack-gnome-el-
base-9.04+20090413/data/el/LC_MESSAGES/gnome-terminal.po

#: ../src/profile-preferences.glade.h:9
msgid ""
"Automatic\n"
"Control-H\n"
"ASCII DEL\n"
"Escape sequence"
msgstr ""
"Αυτόματη\n"
"Control-H\n"
"ASCII DEL\n"
"Ακολουθία διαφυγής"

>From the previous you can see that "Escape sequence" is translated in
Greek as "Ακολουθία διαφυγής". But in the attached screen you can see
that the translation is not being used.
