Comment:
We've always known that using relative path for the locale path is a bad thing, but that has been something that we've had to do in Windows as it's not know at the build time where the user will install freeciv. (from autools pov we do sane 'make install', but then files are copied from that installation location to somewhere else and expected to work there)
To see if that was now causing the trouble, I did a simple test of hardcoding get_locale_dir() to return the absolute path to the location where I have the translations - and they started to work.
Still don't know what exactly why linking against gtk causes such a change in behavior - I had already confirmed that getcwd() gave expected directory in every phase of the translation setup and test.

Ticket details:
S3_1 on a msys2 environment I'm testing (i.e. not current official environment 211115, but unreleased 220220), with minimal freeciv patch to take that environment to use: gtk3.22- and qt-clients show English text even when Finnish should be used. However, most(?) strings coming from the server that the very client has forked, are in Finnish. sdl2-client correctly shows translations.
I'll try to make a build with the 211115 msys2 environment soon (tomorrow?) to make sure that this is not a regression in the environment. That's important to know so we can either go forward with the environment update or not.
