The game as packaged in fedora repository is missing translations. The locales aren't packaged as part of the game but the game still provides options to select language, which won't work. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Neverball data files and Neverball or Neverputt binary. 2. Launch the game 3. Change language in options Actual Results: 1. The language doesn't change Expected Results: 1. The language should change Additional Information: The game is built without locale directory path specified, which makes it unable to open locales, even if one would decide to force-install them manually (see strace). I've attempted to fix the missing translations issue by modifying the spec file. The result is theoretically ok (i.e the game has working translations) but since I've never built RPM before I have no idea if my attempt is actually correct and won't create other issues, especially I don't know if I added locales properly and if it won't result in some permission issues.
