Bug Description
Moblin-media app is missing proper internationaliz
Even if a localized language pack was created for moblin-media, and if that language pack was installed with the system environment set to a local that matched the language pack, the user would still only see English text in any of the UI elements.

Basic internationaliz ation support has been released in version 0.34. Since no translations are available yet (i.e. this bug is for basic internationaliz ation support, not localization for any given region), I have added a testing translation file in moblin- media/po/ test.po.
To use test.po, create a moblin-media.mo file by doing:
$ msgfmt -o moblin-media.mo test.po
Then, copy the mo file to the current locale directory. As of this entry, the default moblin image is setup with local en_GB, so the mo file needs to be copied to the /usr/share/ locale/ en_GB/LC_ MESSAGES/ directory. All visible strings should contain LANG-TEST-STRING.
NOTE: The default gtk buttons pick up their translations from the GNOME mo files, so the 'OK', 'Cancel', 'Yes', 'No' (and a few others I can no think of right now) will not pick up any of the test translations.
NOTE: Please create new bug reports for each specific string that is not translated instead of re-opening this bug as a catch-all for any existing or future translation bugs
