#469: Translation files installed to wrong places if ${datadir} is not
${prefix}/share

   Status:  new           |   Priority:  minor 
Component:  pidgin (gtk)  |    Version:  2.0

 Suppose I run configure with --prefix=/software/pidgin
 --datadir=/software/pidgin/data

 Result:
  * .mo files get installed under /software/pidgin/share/locale
  * pidgin tries to look up .mo files under /software/pidgin/data/locale

 The result is the no translations are available because pidgin is looking
 for the files at one place but the files are installed in a different
 place.

 IMHO the .mo files should follow --datadir, especially if configure can be
 given arguments in such a way that the "share" subdirectory should not
 exist at all.
