I just checked all 1632 packages in Karmic
   https://translations.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/karmic/+lang/mo

There is NO language that has translated strings.

As I said there is nothing to copy. There are no translations done for
Moldavian.

As it is stated in the description of this bug, this language is not a
real one, it was a temporary name given for political reasons to the
Romanian language in Moldova.

Ubuntu does not even ship a language-pack-mo, pack-gnome-mo or any
other moldavian package (as I see in `apt-cache search`).
