Description
Currently the name of the status is not processed by the t() function and always is displayed as entered when it was created which is not good for a multilingual setup.
I see two options of making it translatable:
a) pass it to the t() in the signup_status_codes() function, but then in the watchdog also a translated name will be logged.
b) pass it to the t() everywhere where status code 'name' is used in the UI.
What are your opinion?

See this recent thread on the development list:

It sounds like there's not really a good solution to this problem in either D6 nor D7 core, and the suggested solution is quite a bit more complicated than either option you propose... :/
So, please read that thread, then we can discuss a viable solution here. Thanks.
