[Bug 454732] Re: sudo need support for l18n

[Steve Langasek]

These strings originate with pam, not with sudo.  pam has had
translation support since 2005.  So I think this was a case of looking
in the wrong place.

** Package changed: sudo (Ubuntu) => pam (Ubuntu)

** Changed in: pam (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Invalid

Title:
  sudo need support for l18n

Status in “pam” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: sudo

  The Ubuntu philosophy is to provide good support to its users in the
  l18n issue. Since several versions of ubuntu I noticed that the sudo
  program still does not translate. I've been in touch with a member of
  the Ubuntu translation team to Spain and told me that it is impossible
  to translate these strings.

  Therefore, I think it is very necessary to make this program so used
  has support for localization (l18n).

  An examle the string untranslated:
  $ sudo su
  [sudo] password for shakaran: 
  Sorry, try again.
  [sudo] password for shakaran: 
  Sorry, try again.
  [sudo] password for shakaran: 
  Sorry, try again.
  sudo: 3 incorrect password attempts
