I think that once we make sure this package is installed on the right machine, 

cat webwml/english/templates/language_names.wml | \
 sed 's/<gettext domain="langs">/<gettext domain="iso-639">/' > \
 webwml/english/templates/language_names.wml

should do the trick ;)

Denis, could you confirm, please (I'm not sure about where wml-gettext
search for translation, and if mo files in /usr/share/locale/ are available
or not).

Thanks, Mt.
