[pkg-gnupg-maint] Bug#788983: Bug#788983: Bug#788983: missing translations in pinentry-gnome3

[Werner Koch]

Hi,

after the debug session yesterday we found the problem: The translation
was not switched to the LC_MESSAGES value as received from gpg.  Thus
the gpg-agent displayed static strings in it own locale while displaying
strings received from gpg (description of the key) in gpg's locale.

The fix was not trivial but fianlly I am able to switch gpg's locale at
will and Pinentry shows the correct translation.  I have commited this
to master and it will go into 2.1.6.

The question is whether the work and possible breakage of backporting
this to 2.0 is justified.  This bug has been around for about a decade
but was not really noticed.  Thus, I would suggest not to backport it to
2.0.


Salam-Shalom,

   Werner
