Here's what happens: In an English system, the English language pack installs the following translation catalogs for yelp:
/usr/share/locale-langpack/en/LC_MESSAGES/yelp.mo /usr/share/locale-langpack/e...@shaw/LC_MESSAGES/yelp.mo /usr/share/locale-langpack/en_AU/LC_MESSAGES/yelp.mo /usr/share/locale-langpack/en_CA/LC_MESSAGES/yelp.mo /usr/share/locale-langpack/en_GB/LC_MESSAGES/yelp.mo They correspond to each one of the variants for which there are translations. However, /usr/share/locale-langpack/en/LC_MESSAGES/yelp.mo should not exist, since that corresponds to the POSIX (C, or US English) locale, in which all applications are written - and therefore no translations are needed. The 'en' translation is being created from the 'e...@shaw' one, and that's because the translation tarball exported from Launchpad to create the latest full language pack on 2010-08-17 [1] contains the yelp e...@shaw translation in the en/LC_MESSAGES folder. I'm not sure why, but perhaps because of the recent changes with @ locales in Launchpad? I'm adding a task for Launchpad Translations. Thanks Dennis for pointing to the cause of the problem.
