In some cases, we need the TEXTDOMAINDIR variable to be different from the installation directory of the locales: for example, an ebuild temporarily installs the files in ${D} before installing them in the system: the locales should be installed in ${D}/usr/share/locales but TEXTDOMAINDIR should be equal to /usr/share/locales.
