I think these are strings provided by your printer driver. Nothing that GNOME can fix.
Hi Thibault, could you attach here ppd file of the printer? It should be located in "/etc/cups/ppd/name-of-the-printer.ppd". Regards Marek
Created attachment 212238 [details] /etc/cups/ppd/Photosmart-C440-series.ppd Hi Marek, Here is your file. I confirm this is still true with the last Ubuntu 12.04 (beta 2 up-to-date). Thibault.
Hi Thibault, the problem you see is caused by the ppd. It contains English names for options and its values. You need French version of the ppd to have them translated. But there is also a bug in this part of gtk+. If the ppd contains more than one language versions of its options/values then gtk+ dialog uses just the original one regardless of current locale. I'll file a feature request for this. I'm closing this as not a bug. Regards Marek
Hi Marek, Ok, so my remaining bug (not related to gtk+) is : "In the .ppd file, the english names for options and values should be translated". Who should I report this bug to ? regards, Thibault.
Hi, you can try the package which provides the PPD to the operating system you use. But I'm not sure whether this will work because these PPD files are usually created by manufacturers of the printers. Marek
