"When I go to Places -> Computer in my fully updated Karmic, all my internal USB card readers shows untranslated labels in English rather than Spanish: "Generic USB CF Reader", "Generic USB MS Reader", "Generic USB SD Reader", and so on..."

We just show the name obtained from the device descriptors. Unfortunately there is no way to localize it - in fact, in general we don't even know what kind of media (e.g. CF, MS, SD, ...) each LUN uses.

One possible fix is to match the usb vid/pid like we do here

http://cgit.freedesktop.org/DeviceKit/DeviceKit-disks/tree/data/95-devkit-disks.rules?id=009#n87

and then we can show the appropriate localized name. However, maintaining whitelists for this generally does not work. If you want to, file a bug here

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=DeviceKit-disks

including the USB vid/pid.
