Hi, the original bug discussed here is about systems with multiple user who use multiple languages. This is currently not supported.
On a fresh install in e.g. german or chinese all apps that have translations should be supported of course. Having multiple database will not help with that problem, that is a different issue. I did a fresh install with ubiquity of natty now to test the problem. = Fresh install without network = * all apps are translated (everything from app-install-data-ubuntu) * no translated package descriptions (no Translations-$lang files in /var/lib/apt/lists) * no universe package lists (but s-c will offer to download them) = Fresh install with network = * all apps are translated * translated package descriptions are available in /var/lib/apt/lists * translated packages descriptions are *not* displayed until the first "apt-get update" *or* "rm -f /var/cache/apt/*.bin" (the binary package cache is generated/copied with LANG=C for some reason?) - this appears to be a more general problem with apt/the way we install, I investigate further -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of UBUNTU - AL, which is subscribed to Package Descriptions for Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/434601 Title: Software Center needs to store the language of the cache Status in Package Descriptions for Ubuntu (to make translation easy): New Status in Ubuntu Translations: New Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: Binary package hint: software-store if the cache was geneated with a english locale and then is used by a user with german locale, the cache will be english only. this needs to be fixed by storting a language attribute in the cache and forcing a re-generation (or a generation of a new one) if they don't match.
