I've also been pointed out by the Desktop team to aptdaemon, which has
got some very visible strings (e.g. in Software Center or Update
Manager), which might not be so easy to find.

You can start translating it here:

https://translations.launchpad.net/ubuntu/karmic/+source/aptdaemon/+pots/aptdaemon

and I've also raised its priority for now, so it appears on the first
page of translations in Launchpad.

Happy translating!
