Good work! I've collected them using the 'arb' tag in here [1][2].

I created a packaging branch dedicated to ARB modifications [3] and
merged your packaging changes.

Then I noticed that translations are not loaded from /opt, which I tried
to fix with another patch, only to realize that it won't work.

I've filed a question in Askubuntu [4] with the details, and I've filed
a bug at Gtk upstream (see the comments on the question for the link),
but even if it's fixed, I don't see it SRU'd any time soon. Which leaves
us with the fact that with the current setup that we're recommending we
cannot ship localized apps. Even pkgme won't solve this, as the
installation path would still be /opt.

I'm pretty much stuck now, as I'd like to release Qreator, but I
certainly don't want to waste the effort of the volunteers that have
already translated to more than 20 languages by shipping it only in
English. So any ideas/workarounds welcome!

Thanks.

Cheers,
David.
