[Bug 2009808] Re: Doesn't display the correct livepatch service status

[Grant Orndorff]

Hi Nathan,

I suggest that if you see "status" == "warning" then look at the
"warning.code" field. That will be a short string unique to the warning
situation that won't change. It will be different for different warnings
in the future, though currently the only warning is the one presented in
my comment above.

So I suggest you keep a translatable string for each known
"warning.code" and look up that string based on the code field.

If you don't have a string for a certain code, then you can fallback to
"warning.message" (or "description_override" if it exists) as you see
fit. These will always be english but at least will be human readable
strings for the situation.
