/usr/share/locale/<lang>/LC_MESSAGES/unity-tweak-tool.mo

Is the location for translations into the language <lang>. We currently ship translations for language codes bg, de, fr, it, pt_BR, ru, sl, sr.

You will not need the location to be able to test translations, and in fact, they are bundled in a binary format hence the location will not help.

To test the tranalations, change your LC_MESSAGES environment variable to <lang> and start unity-tweak-tool.

eg: LC_MESSAGES=fr unity-tweak-tool

Thanks for answer.

I think I better rename and move after downloading from launchpad, because I would like to test my own language translation.
