Public bug reported:

Currently it seems not possible to have working gettext translations
without included a patch 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
