I did, thank you! Bit of a late update to this, but first a summary of the issue because it has been a year already: On the GDM login screen, there's a dialog that asks for your password, screenshot attached. The "Password:" string (apparently) comes from linux-pam and cannot be translated using DamnedLies. So I translated (parts of) linux-pam, but linux-pam hasn't released a new version for ages, if I can trust their GitHub releases page: <https://github.com/linux-pam/linux-pam/releases> So that didn't end up going anywhere. The translations haven't even been pulled from Zanata to the repository, and Zanata is about to be discontinued. I've done a little researching into the issue to see if I can simply submit a patch to GNOME myself, but it's a little too difficult for me. It appears that GDM gets its "question" from PAM (i.e., the "Password:"), and forwards the question to the gnome-shell GDM module, which sets the question as the string of a GtkLabel. I do not know the GDM codebase or the C language nearly well enough to submit a fix for this. What's the best course of action to get this fixed? I get a bit discouraged from sending bug reports that go ignored for years, so I'd like something actionable myself, but I'm a bit lost. With kindness, Carmen
