Arabic translations incomplete - missing libadwaita.mo in gnome-46-2404 snap #358

Description

@sniper1720

The gnome-46-2404 snap is missing libadwaita.mo for Arabic (ar) locale, while other languages like French (fr) have it.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Install gnome-46-2404 snap
  2. Compare locale files for Arabic vs French:
ls /snap/gnome-46-2404/current/usr/share/locale/fr/LC_MESSAGES/ | grep libadwaita
ls /snap/gnome-46-2404/current/usr/share/locale/ar/LC_MESSAGES/ | grep libadwaita
  • French: HAS libadwaita.mo
  • Arabic: MISSING libadwaita.mo

Expected Behavior

Arabic locale should have libadwaita.mo like other languages.

Investigation

  • Ubuntu's language-pack-gnome-ar package DOES include libadwaita.mo (verified by extracting and checking)
  • The gnome-46-2404-sdk's gtk-locales part appears to copy an incomplete set of translations

Environment

  • gnome-46-2404 snap version: latest stable
  • Ubuntu 24.04
