[Impact]

The variable GETTEXT_PACKAGE is set to "libgweather-3.0" when building
libgweather, which makes the libgweather-common binary look for
translations in files named "libgweather-3.0.mo". The template name in
Rosetta (LP) is "libgweather", so the files provided by the language
packs are named "libgweather.mo". This mismatch results in the messages
describing the weather type always be displayed in English.

The uploaded package works around the issue by setting GETTEXT_PACKAGE
to "libgweather".

In bionic the template name in Rosetta has been changed to
"libgweather-3.0", and thus the workaround will be reversed.

[Test Case]

 * Install French language support

 * Start gnome-weather with:
   LANGUAGE=fr gnome-weather
   and find that the description of the weather type is displayed in
   English.

 * Install these packages from -proposed:
   - gir1.2-gweather-3.0
   - libgweather-3-6
   - libgweather-common

 * Start gnome-weather with:
   LANGUAGE=fr gnome-weather
   and find that the description of the weather type is now displayed
   in French.

[Regression Potential]

None.

[Original description]

In Gnome Weather, part of it is not translated in french : cloudy, rain
showers, etc. Should be : nuageux, pluie fine, etc.

I guess it's a missing french localization. Fedora does not have that
problem. In Gnome-Software, they have a section for languages, under the
extensions section.
