SUMMARY
In https://invent.kde.org/graphics/kseexpr/-/commit/facf1a4203d860ccc7b8884a914200c54023749b, I forced KSeExpr to use the application's own data directory for looking up its translations. This is consistent with Krita's own usage case (bundling the library across multiple operating systems in its own hierarchy).

However, it's been reported that this will not work in Linux if the library is system-installed.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
