The text of the stock buttons have to be localized in the gnome-libs package.
Usually, the gnome sotck buttons are localized to many languages. Please, can
you test:
export LANG="fr" (for instance)
abiword
and see if the gnome stock buttons are localized to frech?
Can you try now export LANG="xx" (where xx is your favorite language),
reexecute abiword and see if it works?
In short, the gnome version DOESN'T care about the translation that Abiword
provides for the stock buttons. It only see the translation that gnome provides
(and you will turn on the localization with export LANG="xx").
Cheers,
