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 ** Affects: snapcraft (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: snap-desktop-issue ** Tags added: snap-desktop-issue -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1576282 Title: Snaps built from deb can't be gettext translated To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/snapcraft/+bug/1576282/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
