Packaged version doesn't respect language settings #4

The extension's right-click menu and preferences dialog do not respect the system's language settings (they are always in English, even if the language was changed in Settings -> Region & Language and the session was restarted.) If I install the extension from extensions.gnome.org, it does respect the language settings.

Tested with Portuguese (Brazil) and French, both of which have translation files in the package.

Strange. The translation files are installed, and work in Python:

import gettext
gettext.translation('ding', languages=['es']).gettext('Show a context menu item to delete permanently')

I guess it isn't loading translations from the normal system directory for some reason...

Ah yes, I suppose it's the way the bindtextdomain call is written. Should be easy to fix.
