[Bug 1576282] Re: Snaps built from deb can't be gettext translated

Responding to my own comment: indeed we only need to count the memory used by individual files accessed by a snap on top of the compressed size on disk. Which for a single locale is negligible. So it's worth re- considering including the locales with each platform snap. -- You received this bug n

[Bug 1576282] Re: Snaps built from deb can't be gettext translated

Perhaps I'm thinking about it wrong - but the uncompressed data has to reside in memory at least? Even if it's not "on disk" per se. So having an extra 100M in memory could still be quite bad. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ub

It's both. LOCPATH needs to be set when launching the application because otherwise an absolute path will be used. And locales-all contains data such as time and date formats or how to deal with numbers. I created a proof of concept snap providing the same languages available on the click-based p

[Bug 1576282] Re: Snaps built from deb can't be gettext translated

I stumbled into this issue via , and if I understand it correctly the issue is primarily not due to Ubuntu's language packs. In the case of VLC, the accepted answer at Ask Ubuntu indicates that modifying bindtextdomain() when building the program would be sufficient.

Re-iterating what I said in the proposed work-around: locales-all weighs in at 127M. I think we need to have the language pack discussion rather than blowing up the size of the platform snap(s). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to
