Applications written in QML using the ubuntu UI toolkit and the desktop/qt5 part should be covered: the desktop-launch script sets the APP_DIR environment variable to the value of $SNAP¹, and UbuntuI18n::setDomain(…) calls bindtextdomain() with $APP_DIR/share/locale².
However I’m not seeing this work. Testing with a snap of webbrowser-app, the compiled translations are correctly packaged under $SNAP/share/locale/[lang]/LC_MESSAGES/webbrowser-app.mo, however the UI appears untranslated. ¹ https://github.com/ubuntu/snapcraft-desktop-helpers/blob/master/qt/launcher-specific#L29 ² https://bazaar.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-sdk-team/ubuntu-ui-toolkit/trunk/view/head:/src/Ubuntu/Components/plugin/i18n.cpp#L117 -- 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/snapcraft/+bug/1576282/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
