My GTK installation have .mo files for 106 languages. This would increase
the installer size with 18M byte - do we want to include all of this just
for a few button lables?
Until we have a better solution I propose that we do it for locales "ja" and
"it" where we have full translations. Each language contributes with about
100k - 200k byte of .mo files from GTK.
What is the thg-develop list opinions on this?
Since the thg-installer currently depends on manualy copy of GTK files,
Steve would have to do this in his build environment.
In the future we might want to distribute .mo files separately so instead of
installing 100 languages you just install your own language.
Another aproach would be to find a way to detect a local GTK installation
and use the .mo files found there. On the other hand, this opens issues with
different versions of GTK.
