Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gcalctool

In Chinese locale (zh_CN.UTF-8), gcalctool is already broken because of
its localized digits feature.

I've already reported this problem to the upstream (
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=644980 ), Ubuntu should fix
it too.

A lot of Chinese users have complained about his problem:

 - http://forum.ubuntu.org.cn/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=298629

I've fixed and tested in my bzr branch, but I'm not sure my approach is
the right way to fix this bug. Maybe we can just disable the translation
string.
