I'm testing out what happens on Beowulf when a user password expires. The
process isn't very user-friendly, but the biggest problem is that not all
the messages from the UI are localized (the machine will be used by
non-technical people).
Even though the rest of the UI gets shown in my language, here's what I'm
seeing when my password expires:
1) I type the current (old) password
2) The message "Changing password for (user)" appears
3) I retype the old password
4) "New password" appears and I type it
6) "Retype new password" appears
I'm using LightDM with the GTK greeter.
Any hint on what I could try to change those messages?
I've searched for them, and it appears the messages come not from lightdm
but from pam. And indeed, you can find them in the pam package, /po/
directory. So you'd need to fill in missing translation strings for your
language -- and rebuild pam.
I checked inside /usr/share/locale/*/LC_MESSAGES but the translated
strings for my language ARE there, inside Linux-PAM.po and shadow.po too...
I noticed that if I try to login from a tty console the messages there
are in english too, so maybe while at the login stage the system doesn't
use /etc/default/locale at all?
