Bug description:
  Currently it seems not possible to have working gettext translations
  without included a patch glibc build in your snap

  - the core image doesn't have locales definition

  that can be worked around by including locales definitions in the
  snap, though that's tedious, ideally snapcraft would help there

  
  - traditional desktop applications are built with calls to 'bindtextdomain 
("domain", LOCALEDIR)', where LOCALDIR is defined at buildtime and so pointing 
to /usr 

  there seems to be no way to redirect to another directory at runtime

  
  - desktop applications needs system library translations sometime which means 
langpacks need to be included in snaps
