Did some more digging on this...

This method translates the text above the progress bar correctly:

1) Install stock 11.10 in oem-mode
2) When rebooted, click the "prepare for shipment" icon
3) Reboot and select Simplified Chinese during the oem-config phase. 
4) The Chinese text above the progress bar during the slideshow is good to go.

This method also works:

1) Install stock 11.10..regular install, no oem-mode.
2) Reboot and install oem-config and oem-config-gtk
3) run "prepare for shipment"
4) reboot and select Simplified Chinese during the oem-config phase.
5) The Chinese text is also correct.

However, if you look at the oem-config logs posted from a dell-recovery
installer run, there are several instances of corruption, and it's  not
just the Chinese language(s).  It's almost as if the translation
database is somehow hosed up.

With dell-recovery, we can get a correct translation above the progress
bar if we initially use English during the installation and then switch
to Simplified Chinese when prompted in oem-config.  The corruption seems
to stem from us adding an SDR file onto the USB stick which would
simulate a situation with a machine destined for China in the factory.
The dell-recovery code is supposed to be able to grab that information
and set things up properly for a Chinese installation...there may be
something throwing a wrench in this, though.

Mario and I haven't been able to make this happen in stock Ubuntu (yet).
We'll keep digging around.  This might be something in dell-recovery
rather than ubiquity, but, we're not sure yet.
