Application Dir should be added to XDG_DATA_DIRS

[Cris Dywan]

The installation directory of the click app should be added to XDG_DATA_DIRS for translations so that they can find the translated files.

[Chris Wayne (cwayne)]

The XDG_DATA_HOME is also not set in initctl list-env. If i do for example initctl set-env XDG_DATA_HOME=/usr/share/click/preinstalled/com.ubuntu.calendar/current/
 and then launch the calendar app with upstart-app-launch, it is translated.

The output of a command similar to this one (arch and app id need to change):

$ G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all APP_ID=foo /usr/lib/*/upstart-app-launch/click-exec

[Jamie Strandboge (jdstrand)]

XDG_DATA_HOME should *not* be set to the install directory. Per http://developer.ubuntu.com/publish/apps/security-policy-for-click-packages/: "XDG_DATA_HOME: set to $HOME/.local/share". This follows the XDG specification and is what upstart-app-launch and aa-exec-click do currently.

[Jamie Strandboge (jdstrand)]

Seems like XDG_DATA_DIRS should also be set in aa-exec-click for non-Unity8 DEs.

[Chris Wayne (cwayne)]

I tested with this branch, and while it seems XDG_DATA_DIRS is being set, the app itself is still not translated

[Chris Wayne (cwayne)]

I just retested to be sure, and I must have either used a language that was missing translations or forgot to reboot after setting the language, as this now works (by setting language to spanish, rebooting, and then opening calendar)
