Title:
  Translations aren't always loaded

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

Bug description:
  In

    https://code.launchpad.net/~kalikiana/ubuntu-ui-
  toolkit/xdglocale/+merge/188359

  i18n::setDomain() was updated to call bindtextdomain on the first of
  the XDG data directories that it finds has a "locale" subdirectory.

  This happens regardless of whether the translations are actually
  installed there and, if they are not, causes gettext to not find them.

  To reproduce:

    1. Have no translations for your UITK-using-and-translated application in /usr/local/share/locale
    2. Make sure that directory exists
    3. Set LC_MESSAGES=<some locale that should work, eg de_DE.UTF-8>
    4. Launch the application
    5. It isn't translated

  Then remove /usr/local/share/locale and note that the application is
  now translated.

  The UITK needs to either replicate the algorithm that gettext uses to
  find .mo files before calling bindtextdomain() on a directory, or it
  needs to not call bindtextdomain() by default. If it's not called then
  gettext will use the system location, which is usually right. App
  authors will need to override it themselves if necessary (already
  possible). Crucially, you have to not call it unless you /know/ that
  the translations are there.
