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 phone images. That brings the 127M of installed size down to 34.5M - the snap (as noted in https://github.com/ubuntu/snapcraft-desktop-helpers/pull/12) is indeed a mere 3.5M, which is nice for OTAs, but it grows when unpacked. Just to highlight why there's different numbers being talked about. https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-sdk-team/+snap/ubuntu-language-pack-base -- 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/canonical-devices-system-image/+bug/1576282/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
