Description

Seems like all the UI’s l10n is correctly updated on language change, but the keyboard layout widget is constantly displayed using the locale the window was loaded with.

  • in ubiquity, the d-i/make-keyboard-names script uses /usr/share/locale/*/LC_MESSAGES/xkeyboard-config.mo to translate the keyboard layout names, from list of keyboard layouts gathered using the d-i’s console-setup Keyboard/KeyboardNames.pl script
  • kbd-chooser.c in git://git.debian.org/d-i/kbd-chooser.git uses /usr/share/console/lists/

Note than in the wheezy branch of the greeter, this has improved, but something related has slightly regressed IIRC.

I started some work on that in tails-greeter:feature/localized_layouts. This might not be folly working nor adapted to last changed but someone wanting to tackle that might want to have a look.

Since we’re now in Wheezy, does this still aply ?
