"Uncategorized" isn't translated into Spanish in Default Post Category of Writing Settings

[zurizuniga]

Looks like the word "uncategorized" isn't translated into Spanish when changing the language into Spanish (Mexico).

How to replicate:
Lang: Spanish (Mexico)
Ajustes -> Escritura -> Categoría predeterminada para las entradas -> Uncategorized

Maybe a good translation would be: "no clasificada" or "sin clasificacion"

Welcome to @zurizuniga. Thank you for opening this.

I can confirm I can replicate this. Working on a fix.

Ok, looks like the "Uncategorized" is not translated in other places in the admin.

The default category is added during the initial installation by wp_install_defaults(). So the translation depends on the locale used during the installation.

Replying to ocean90:

The default category is added during the initial installation by wp_install_defaults(). So the translation depends on the locale used during the installation.

I can confirm this to be correct, at least for nb_NO. If I download and manually install the localized package, then the term is translated. If I use an automated service like Softaculous (cPanel), even if I select correct language to be used, the localized package is not used and the term appears in en_US.

Based on the previous comments, and some discussions I had with the FR locale translation team, I'm closing this as wontfix .

Anyone, feel free to reopen it if needed.

Wouldn't it be helpful to add into documentation that people should edit "Uncategorized" when they see it and that determining the language upon installation will determine the sample data?
