Partial translation of printer settings dialog box

My mom uses french localization of Ubuntu 17.10 with KDE.
In the printer dialog box, part of text is in english and other part in french.

i discovered that issue comes from PPD file that is not adequate regarding to localization (French) and only english version is used as you can see on:

you have attached the original file which is located in: /etc/cups/ppd, in my mom's case it's called : EPSON_XP-332_335_Series.ppd (i attached it as original)

now i can modify it and change few strings into french localization and here is the result:

Nobody should modify manualy this file in order to have it localized. Something is wrong as i install french driver from EPSON directly on my mom's laptop.

Several other people told me that they have the same issue with Spanish or other localization.

Git commit 893222767251a4b22953afe6f845f03d421d4fa9 by Luigi Toscano.
Committed on 21/01/2018 at 21:34.
Pushed by ltoscano into branch 'Applications/17.12'.

Initialize the translations of the ppd

Summary:
The to ppdLocalize() make sure that the translated strings in the PPD for
the current language are returned instead of the untranslated string.

Unfortunately not all translations are returned, for example section
titles are not translated (the translations are defined a bit differently
in the PPD file and I didn't fine an easy way in the API to extract them).

Test Plan:
(Most) translations are now available for the printer reported in the bug,
and at least another printer.
