Title:
Snaps built from deb can't be gettext translated
Status in Canonical System Image:
In Progress
Status in Snapcraft:
New
Status in Ubuntu App Platform:
Fix Released
Status in snapcraft package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Currently it seems not possible to have working gettext translations
without included a patched glibc build in your snap
- the core image doesn't have locales definition
that can be worked around by including locales definitions in the
snap, though that's tedious, ideally snapcraft would help there
- traditional desktop applications are built with calls to
'bindtextdomain ("domain", LOCALEDIR)', where LOCALDIR is defined at
buildtime and so pointing to /usr
there seems to be no way to redirect to another directory at runtime
- desktop applications needs system library translations sometime
which means langpacks need to be included in snaps
