does not install any translations in help, only the C directory
locales still get installed
This turned out to be the case on every package of mate-system-monitor I have ever built with meson but just noticed
it now as I do not use the translations, but saw a big reduction in installed package size.
Steps to reproduce the behaviour
We will be using the /usr/share/help/af directory here simply because it is the first directory in /usr/share/help and is
easily found
1: remove your normal mate-system-monitor install, be sure /usr/share/help/af/mate-system-monitor is removed
2: Build and install with autotools, look for directory /usr/share/help/af/mate-system-monitor it will be installed
3: uninstall this build
4: Build and install with meson, /usr/share/help/af/mate-system-monitor is not installed so does not show up
5: Cleanup: uninstall and install whatever package you are using for mate-system-monitor
