Comment 9 for bug 1576411

On a similar note we(desktop) opened bug #1576282 "Snaps built from deb can't be gettext translated" with that note

"- 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"

Which means the mount to /classic solution is going to not work if we want to properly support making snaps from debs, or we would need some hack to "divert" the glibc bindtextdomain() calls and mangle the arguments at runtine...
