Title:
  [i18n] Set up the translation domain automatically

Status in Ubuntu UI Toolkit:
  Fix Released
Status in “ubuntu-ui-toolkit” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  In order to be able to load the right translations when an application
  is launched, the translation domain needs to be specified. This tells
  the translation machinery where to load the translations from, i.e.
  /usr/share/locale/ca/LC_MESSAGES/$DOMAIN.mo

  In the SDK this is done by setting i18n.domain, which needs to be
  explicitly set e.g. in Component.onCompleted for MainView. After a
  conversation with timp and JP we decided to link the translation
  domain with applicationName in MainView. The reasons being:

  - We want to make it transparent for developers to initialize translations
  - This will make it easier for the script to build .pot files to generate them correctly
  - In 90% of the cases, the translation domain is the same as the application name

  In summary, the idea is that MainView reads applicationName and uses
  it to set i18n.domain. It should still be possible for the app
  developer to override this by explicitly setting i18n.domain in their
  app
