Bug Description

I tested with the latest version of Gwibber (0.9.1) and the Italian translation is not being used.

In the code the LOCALEDIR is fixed at '/usr/local/share/locale', but looks like now translations files are in '/usr/share/locale'. Using the GNU gettext API, as is gwibber using right now, it is necessary to set a fixed path for the LOCALEDIR, otherwise it's possible to use the class-based API, but it's necessary to use a different approach.

I tried changing the LOCALEDIR to '/usr/share/locale' and launching gwibber locally with /bin/gwibber (the one inside the code), but the translations aren't used neither.

I will try again, it should be right, but doing that it wasn't working
for me... gotta check why.

I'm using Ubuntu version from PPA at Intrepid and have similar behaviour. The thing is that gwibber tries to read translations from: /usr/local/share/locale or /usr/share/locale-langpack while translations are in /usr/share/locale

Changing the path in client.py neither works for me.

I changed my *local installed* copy of client.py and now it (almost) work, it wasn't working for me using bin/gwibber to run it.

The only glitch I see is the Gwibber menu that is still in English, but doing an intltool-update resolved the issue: the pot file was not up to date.

I'll create a branch and propose it for merge.

I think this was committed in gwibber rev 330:

If I'm mistaken, reopen the bug.

Thanks!
