While viewing a message which contains a pgp signed message with an  
invalid signature, it shows:

1) "error-like icon"
2) description, "BAD signature data from...".

However reading the same message using the Spanish locale shows

1) "ok-like" icon (like in GOOD signature)
2) description, "firma INCORRECTA"...

Please note that "INCORRECTA" in spanish means "BAD".

So, IMP should show the "bad" or error-like icon in Spanish too.

Any user, guided by the icon shown, could be decepted into believing a  
forefeited message is from the pretended sender.
