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
