Translated strings are not shown

[jose1711]

Not sure what is happening but neither with the latest stable nor with current git snapshot I get localized strings in the program. With LANG set to sk_SK.utf8:

$ strace -s80 lingot 2>&1 | grep -E 'locale.*= [0-9]*$'
openat(AT_FDCWD, "/usr/lib/locale/locale-archive", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3
openat(AT_FDCWD, "/usr/share/locale/locale.alias", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3
openat(AT_FDCWD, "/usr/share/locale/sk/LC_MESSAGES/libc.mo", O_RDONLY) = 3
openat(AT_FDCWD, "/usr/share/locale/sk/LC_MESSAGES/gtk30-properties.mo", O_RDONLY) = 3
openat(AT_FDCWD, "/usr/share/X11/locale/locale.alias", O_RDONLY) = 10
read(10, "#\n#\tThis file contains alias names of locales.\n#\tEach alias name is described wi"..., 4096) = 4096
openat(AT_FDCWD, "/usr/share/X11/locale/locale.alias", O_RDONLY) = 10
read(10, "#\n#\tThis file contains alias names of locales.\n#\tEach alias name is described wi"..., 4096) = 4096
openat(AT_FDCWD, "/usr/share/X11/locale/locale.dir", O_RDONLY) = 10
read(10, "#\n#\tThis file contains locale database file names\n#\tThe first word is the locale"..., 4096) = 4096
access("/usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/XLC_LOCALE", R_OK) = 0
openat(AT_FDCWD, "/usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/XLC_LOCALE", O_RDONLY) = 10
openat(AT_FDCWD, "/usr/share/locale/locale.alias", O_RDONLY) = 10

Other programs work fine, here's the same command for vlc:

$ strace -s80 /usr/bin/vlc 2>&1 | grep -E 'locale.*= [0-9]*$'   
openat(AT_FDCWD, "/usr/lib/locale/locale-archive", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3
openat(AT_FDCWD, "/usr/share/locale/locale.alias", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 5
openat(AT_FDCWD, "/usr/share/locale/sk/LC_MESSAGES/libc.mo", O_RDONLY) = 5
openat(AT_FDCWD, "/usr/share/vlc/../locale/sk/LC_MESSAGES/vlc.mo", O_RDONLY) = 3

Tried other locales and it's still the same. Arch Linux, x86_64 rolling.

$ ls -l /usr/share/locale/sk/LC_MESSAGES/lingot.mo
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 21123 apr 20 22:57 /usr/share/locale/sk/LC_MESSAGES/lingot.mo

Edit: FWIW I also tested the above on Ubuntu 20.04 with the same results.

Resolved with passing the path manually:

./configure --prefix=/usr --localedir=/usr/share/locale
