Translations not enabled for VLC snap

Hi!

When installing the VLC snap on Ubuntu, the session language is ignored, 
and the UI is always English.

The issue has been reported via a few Ask Ubuntu questions, including 
<http://askubuntu.com/q/836483>. Rodney Dawes explained in an answer 
that bindtextdomain() needs to be modified, so there are reasons to fear 
that this hasn't been done properly for VLC.

As a complete snap newbie I don't know where this kind of packaging 
issue should be reported, but I hope to call the right people's 
attention to it through this message.
