Additional context

What happened?

[RedShakespeare]

.mo files are still there but none of them is loaded

Probably related to #40056

[jbytheway]

Indeed; I guess the logic @akirashirosawa used in #40056 doesn't work on Android. Is something different about the directory layout there?

[RedShakespeare]

No...just underestimated the difficulty. Still need help.

[RedShakespeare]

5 days have passed but still no fixes...
Many complaints in local social media groups...

Still, don't understand why this #40056 doesn't work...

[anothersimulacrum]

Could it be this:

What happens is that PATH_INFO::langdir() is called at include-time, before PATH_INFO::set_standard_filenames() is called. That means that langdir_value = "", which means that the CWD will be scanned instead of the correct lang directory.

This is not really problematic if the current working directory is the game root (i.e. via cataclysm-launcher), but the game used to start fine directly from the binary and I think this is not expected behavior.

From #40356

Fixed by #40377 .
Thx a million.
