Bug Description

I changed the language in GUI to French but interface stays mostly English. Just a few strings are displayed in French, e.g.:

- "Password" ("Mot de passe") on the login screen,
- units "GB", "TB" as "Gio" and "Tio" in Compute Overview,
- "New password" ("Noveau mot de passe") in User Settings.

All other strings are in English.

See screenshots attached.

This is the Stein on Ubuntu Bionic deployment.

The problem does NOT occur on Queens on Ubuntu Bionic. All strings are properly translated. I have just deployed Queens and verified this. See attached 05-all-ok-queens.png.

Looks like the regression was introduced somewhere between Queens and Stein.

I can now confirm that I can see the same issue on Rocky deployment.

it looks like the translation compilation never happens - if you drop into /usr/share/openstack-dashboard and run:

  sudo python3 manage.py compilemessages

and then restart apache the translations appear to be OK

Workaround that worked for me:

sudo apt install -y gettext
cd /usr/share/openstack-dashboard/openstack_dashboard
sudo python3 /usr/share/openstack-dashboard/manage.py compilemessages
sudo systemctl restart apache2

I'm unsubscribing field-high as we have a workaround now.

Packages have PO files but not MO files - the package build does the compilation but the install step completely misses them.
