Description Christian (Fuchs) 2017-01-09 17:12:56 UTC 
Currently there is no way (I can see) to ship translations along with plasmoids. 

This is a bit tricky, because all plasmoids installed via Get Hot New Stuff (or similar) are therefore not translated. 

Popular plasmoids avoid that by providing distribution packages, but this has various caveats, such as not being available for all distributions, maybe not being up to date plus of course the user still seeing the get new plasmoids possibility in the browser and using that. 

It would be nice if there was some standard directory / file name which plasmoids would check for translations, so you can deliver them along with your plasmoid.

Load translations from KPackage files if bundled

Test Plan:
Installed battery monitor locally with kpackagetool5 -i
moved x-test .po file from being installed systemwide to only being
inside the bundle
still get xx everywhere
