There is a slight technical aspect I overlooked here, which is that the
gnome-background-properties doesn't support i18n of the xml files. The
only fields that would be translated are the "name" fields, which as was
pointed out to me, probably shouldn't be translated anyway (even if they
can be).

Should the module stay untranslated? Would it be possible/advisable to
add an extra build time argument to install a specific locale?

Does anyone have any thoughts on this?
