>> Testing in 12.1.0 build 8 there appears to be something amiss with activity translations. Clock-8 is not finding it's translations an so defaults to the spoken text "What Time Is It", the previous version Clock-7 also had the same issue. Installing Clock-8 on 11.3.1 or on a very old build 802 accesses the translations correctly.

>> P.S. Unrelated to the above issue, gettext is missing from build 8, this will prevent activity developers using XO's to work with localised bundles (./setup.py build shows a spurious, unhelpful error message) unless they manually sudo yum install -y gettext (pulls in about ~5Mb).
