[Bug 306876] [NEW] Translations not installed with gcompris by default.

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Daniel Holbach (dholbach):

On ubuntu 8.10 (is reproducable in 9.04 also), if I choose russian
interface, the interface remains to be on english.

Turns out that the required /usr/share/locale-
langpack/ru/LC_MESSAGES/gcompris.mo file is located in package language-
pack-gnome-ru-base

The package is not installed by default, so potential gcompris users can
get frustrated over the problem.

I see several solutions to the problem, none of which is optimal:
1) provide gcompris-lang-XX package that would include the file or be dependent on the language-pack-gnome-ru-base

2) make gcompris-sound-ru to suggest or recommend the language-pack-
gnome-ru-base

3) make gcompris to show warning from GUI that one needs to install so
an so package to gain russian interface.

NOTE: It does inform the user that the language pack is not improved with a little red cross, but it could definately be more prominant, and it doesn't explain what it means.  So perhaps at the bottom of the interface:
<REDCROSS> - Requires package "example"
