Bug Description

Binary package hint: gwibber

Translations provided in the gwibber package are not getting into use, since client.py uses hard-coded path:
LOCALEDIR = "/usr/local/share/locale"

so the translations aren't found.

Should be changed to:
LOCALEDIR="/usr/share/locale"

like in other Python programs.

I can confirm this bug and the patch fixes it.
I can't launch Gwibber in Spanish without change the path in the same way the patch does.
This is sort of important bug for Gwibber and the solution is already there, could someone commit the change, please?

Thank you.
