> Expected Translations:                   From generated PPD:
> Tray 1 - Tiroir 1                        Tray 1 - Bac 1
> Tray 2 - Tiroir 2                        Tray 2 - Bac 2
> Statement - Statement US                 Statement - Relevé

> Second problem:
> The string "On" has base translations from all locales except Italian.
> It does not also get translation from my message catalog now that
> translation from ddk is not provided.
