Details

I am slovak translator of Gutenprint project.
I have translated gutenprint to cca 93%, but all strings are displayed in english.
One of a devs of gutenprint checks my translation, and it is properly merged in CVS.

I looked at PKGBUILD and it looks like localized ppds are disabled:

./configure --prefix=/usr \
--sbindir=/usr/bin \
--enable-samples \
--enable-cups-ppds \
--enable-cups-ppds-at-top-level \
--disable-translated-cups-ppds \
--disable-globalized-cups-ppds \
--disable-static \
--disable-static-genppd
This task depends upon

Package size grows from 15 MB to 270 MB. This means we would need to split gutenprint into i18n-like packages.

I don't think it's worth the effort. You will see the strings only once when installing the printer ppd not at every day use like an office application.

I guess this feature request should be rejected.

I think you are wrong. Gutenprint uses over the 3000 strings, with printer names and printer settings, etc.
So it cant be used only while installing printer. you can see this strings in many apps, while configuring printer settings(i.e. Gnome control center -> printer settings).
Idea to split gutenprint to lang packs is great!

I've built 5.2.11-2 in testing repo with simplified, globalized and translated cups ppds. Give them a try.

Simplified ppds with only common paper options are ~41MB, full ppds would be ~165MB that's way to much.
