Description Michael Biebl 2016-03-01 20:22:39 UTC 
Version: 1.1.91

This is related to bug report https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=760966
which was fixed by using the translated string for _("Default").
See commit d78403cba72bad8d76c5f4dfb5ee9d98ae04a561

Unfortunately, this fails, if an older version of nm-applet is already installed on the build system (in my case 1.1.90). 
Manually removing /usr/share/locale/de/LC_MESSAGES/nm-applet.mo did make the test pass again. Apparently the system wide translation files are preferred over the translations in the current build.
I'm not sure if this is fixable. I still think it's better to run the tests under a fixed locale like C.UTF-8
Comment 1 Michael Biebl 2016-03-01 20:25:13 UTC 
For completeness sake, the test-suite error message is (again)

ERROR:test-mobile-providers.c:324:ensure_movistar: assertion failed (nma_mobile_access_method_get_name (method) == _("Default")): ("Vorgabe" == "Default")
FAIL test-mobile-providers (exit status: 134)
Comment 2 Thomas Haller 2016-03-02 09:07:35 UTC 
I couldn't figure out how to fix that properly to use the correct translations.

Anyway, since only one translated value is check, I just removed the check
