Description Adi Roiban 2009-10-05 15:08:23 UTC 
Looking at gui/simple-greeter/gdm-greeter-login-window.glade the "auth-prompt-label" is marked as translatable but it has no value, and it's values is set at runtime with window_info_query.

I could not track the string source.

This is why the string does not appers in the POT file and can not be translated.

The Password text comes from PAM.  If it's not coming up translated, that means either the PAM module isn't translated or you don't have the translations for the pam module installed.

Closing NOTGNOME.
