Default directory to put ".mo" file (language)

[Beco <rcb@beco.cc>]

Hi mentors,

Please,

Would I better use

/usr/share/locale

or

/usr/local/share/locale


I'm programming an old game (from the 8 bits times). I'm starting with
this because I got a suggestion on debian-user-list that starting with
a library to learn packaging would be too hard.

Now, this game is just plain console, text. A RPG you play typing commands.
I'm doing the translation, and soon you will be able to play the best
game ported to linux ever! :)

So, don't assume I know packaging yet. I'm just trying to make my life
easier when packaging comes.

What would be the correct directory to put the translated/compiled
files ".mo" (from msgfmt command)?


And if you please, where would the game binary be installed ultimately?

Thanks,
Beco
