Package: gnome-clocks
Version: 3.25.90-1
Severity: normal
Tags: l10n

Dear Maintainer,

strace gnome-clocks for gtk30.mo:
    open("/usr/share/locale/ru_RU.UTF-8/LC_MESSAGES/libc.mo", O_RDONLY) = -1
    ENOENT (No such file or directory)
    open("/usr/share/locale/ru_RU.utf8/LC_MESSAGES/libc.mo", O_RDONLY) = -1
    ENOENT (No such file or directory)
    open("/usr/share/locale/ru_RU/LC_MESSAGES/libc.mo", O_RDONLY) = -1
    ENOENT (No such file or directory)
    open("/usr/share/locale/ru.UTF-8/LC_MESSAGES/libc.mo", O_RDONLY) = -1
    ENOENT (No such file or directory)
    open("/usr/share/locale/ru.utf8/LC_MESSAGES/libc.mo", O_RDONLY) = -1
    ENOENT (No such file or directory)
    open("/usr/share/locale/ru/LC_MESSAGES/libc.mo", O_RDONLY) = 4

strace gnome-clocks for gnome-clocks.mo:
    open("/locale/ru_RU.UTF-8/LC_MESSAGES/gnome-clocks.mo", O_RDONLY) = -1
    ENOENT (No such file or directory)
    open("/locale/ru_RU.utf8/LC_MESSAGES/gnome-clocks.mo", O_RDONLY) = -1
    ENOENT (No such file or directory)
    open("/locale/ru_RU/LC_MESSAGES/gnome-clocks.mo", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT
    (No such file or directory)
    open("/locale/ru.UTF-8/LC_MESSAGES/gnome-clocks.mo", O_RDONLY) = -1
    ENOENT (No such file or directory)
    open("/locale/ru.utf8/LC_MESSAGES/gnome-clocks.mo", O_RDONLY) = -1
    ENOENT (No such file or directory)
    open("/locale/ru/LC_MESSAGES/gnome-clocks.mo", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No
    such file or directory)

So, for whatever reason gnome-clocks does not search for interface localisation at /usr/share/locale.

Thanks for your bug report.
This is indeed broken. It's a result of the switch to the meson build
system. The broken code is this:

> conf.set_quoted('GNOMELOCALEDIR', join_paths(get_option('prefix'), get_option('datadir'), '/locale'))

The API doc says this about join_paths [1]:

Joins the given strings into a file system path segment. For example
join_paths('foo', 'bar') results in foo/bar. If any one of the
individual segments is an absolute path, all segments before it are
dropped. That means that join_paths('foo', '/bar') returns /bar.

So the trivial fix is as simple as the attached patch.
That said, it's unfortunate that gnome-photos redefines localedir when
meson already provides the localedir variable, see meson --help →
--localedir

Just in case it wasn't obvious, I think a better solution is to use
localedir like this

I apologize for not mentioning this bug in the changelog but this
issue should be fixed in 3.26.0-1 which will build for unstable in a
few hours. Because it's a regular upload, it should migrate to testing
in about 5-6 days unless there's some other issue.

Thanks,
Jeremy Bicha
