[Bug 1446212] Re: Support installing localization data from click packages
Would it be possible to add symbolic links to /usr/share/locale? Short
of that we probably need to set TEXTDOMAIN in the environment, as I'm
not aware of any API call that allows changing the default search
directory.

Title:
Support installing localization data from click packages
Status in apparmor-easyprof-ubuntu package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in ubuntu-ui-toolkit package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
It would be nice if it were possible to add support to a new language/locale by just installing a click package.
This would have several benefits:
1) People could easily add support for non officially supported languages
2) Languages would be updated independently from the system image
3) Some space could be freed from the image, if some languages get moved to click packages
I'm entering this bug against ubuntu-ui-toolkit, because I guess it
would need some change to get the correct path where translations are
installed (it now calls bindtextdomain with /usr/share/locale, while
it should fallback to ~/.local/share/locale/ if the language does not
exist in the system path), but there surely are other projects that
would need to be changed.
For sure, we would need a click hook to move the translations in
~/.local/share/locale/, as well as changes to the apparmor policy to
read from that directory.
