That seems to be the problem. There's no symlink for the one locale that should
actually have localization files in org.kde.skrooge.Locale.
The fix is (outside the flatpak):
Close the running flatpak
% flatpak info --show-location org.kde.skrooge
% cd (to the path above, e.g. in my system installation it is,
/var/lib/flatpak/app/org.kde.skrooge/x86_64/stable/active/ )
% cd files/share/locale
% sudo ln -s ../../share/runtime/locale/fr/share/fr
This symbolic link doesn't resolve, but at runtime inside the flatpak it links
to the French localization files that org.kde.skrooge.Locale should provide if
flatpak thought you need/want the French locale when you installed Skrooge.
% ls -l f*
fi -> ../../share/runtime/locale/fi/share/fi
fr -> ../../share/runtime/locale/fr/share/fr
(^ added the missing symlink for "fr")
and now if you start the flatpak you should have the full French localization!
(I had to fiddle around a lot removing and reinstalling, and adjusting LANG.)
The question is why does, e.g. the Gwenview flatpak have this link, but not
Skrooge? Why does the skrooge flatpak have a symlink for e.g. a Finnish
translation, but not French or German? We need to cross-breed a build expert,
localization expert, and flatpak expert.
