Bug Description

* Impact
translations are missing which impact panels of desktops still using gtk2 like xfce

* Test case
on xubuntu use the pager in a non english locale and see if actions are translated

* Regression potential
translations could be non perfect but it would still be better than none

------------------------------

There are no *.mo files in the package libwnck-common, version 1:2.30.7-5ubuntu1 (Ubuntu 16.04).
Thus the UI strings are in english.
I was able to fix this by recompiling the package.

Thank you for your bug report, indeed it needs a rebuild in universe since translation were moved to langpack when it was in main and not included back since. Does that have any user visible impact?

Yes indeed: at least in xfce4, the pager applet shows its strings in english (Move to anther desktop, Click to move to desktop 2, etc.). Probably the same in the gnome panel.

thank, it's not the same in gnome-panel since it's using gtk3 and libwnck3 which has translations
